[External Lights not reflecting on ground 1.1.1]

Yeah, sure! Well... it's not working yet. This is such a pain to do this every time the plane loads. But, let's see what MSFS says...

[External Lights not reflecting on ground 1.1.1]

Hey Eddie,

Yes, I tried to uninstall and reinstall again but it's not working. However, yesterday I discovered that they work by "resetting" the Light Intensity on the "User Lights" tool.

I posted on the MSFS forum here with a video https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/aircraft-lights-not-reflecting-on-ground-and-aircraft-worked-when-resetting-the-light-intensity-on-dev-mode/656015/3

So, I discovered I'm not the only one with this problem. Testing with more aircraft, I discovered I have almost the same problem with the PMDG B738 (landing lights and taxi lights are visible, but beacon, strobes and nav aren't). And there are some people having the exact same problem with the PMDG 77W. So I guess it has something to do with MSFS SU15. https://forum.pmdg.com/forum/microsoft-flight-simulator-2020-2024-products-discussion/pmdg-777/model-animations-documentation-aa/314178-taxi-landing-lights-illumiation

Yes, the last photo is with an empty community folder. I already tried that mod, and it changes things related to the a/c lightning but no change on the ground or reflections.

Hey @richboy2307 thanks for your reply!

I'm using DX11 and my Antialiasing is set to TAA.

I changed between all Antialiasing modes and no change is visible. I also tested DX12 and it's the same.

 

All those tests above were made using the ini default livery and no liveries installed.

I also deleted the NVIDIA Cache and MSFS Rolling Cache as suggested by other members.

Hi everyone! I have a weird bug in which the external lights are not reflecting on the ground. I think this happened after the SU15 but I'm not 100% sure. I asked on the MSFS Discord and someone pointed that "[the lights] are not bright enough for the light to reach", don't know if MS updated something related to that.

Because I wasn't sure this bug was only happening on the A300, I made 2 videos with the exact same graphic settings, scenery, weather and time, comparing the A300 and the Fenix A320.

 

I tried to change my graphic settings but nothing changed. I also searched on some forums but almost all issues are outdated or talking about a different issue.

Hope you can replicate it and fix it!

🙂

Thanks!
