Aircraft External Lights barely visible during daytime

Hiya, I just wanted to say that the new aircraft Lighting is amazing! Especially when we see airplanes landing at night/darker lighting. Is it possible to add this during the day? Like in real life,the Landing lights and strobes are visible during the day also. But it’s not like this in SU3 rn. Hopefully, this can get added. I don’t have irl pictures. But I hope you get the gist.
Cheers!


Been saying this for ages about the strobes being visible during the day

Yep, strobes, nav lights, beacon lights, tail lights, all are visible during the day. Just take a trip to anywhere close to a local airport and you can see. I don’t know why the team can’t add a simple functionality like external lights being visible to the appropriate degree during daytime and non-night flying conditions.

Especially since it worked okay in 2020.

I agree. This is a big puzzling question and why no one at Asobo/Microsoft even caught this. Even worse, it appears they haven’t figured out how to fix something so simple.

Anyone on SU3 beta can shed some light on whether they managed to fix this? If not, this is really a huge travesty on immersion. They would rather have animals running across the runways instead of fixing something so FUNDAMENTAL.

Agreed, it’s a core feature of any sim and this needs to work correctly. I can barely see external lights on my own third party and Asobo aircraft, and never on the AI and multiplayer aircraft. Daytime only.

Yep, the low visibility of aircraft lights in daylight is a known bug. It’s in progress to be fixed in Sim Update 3, according to the latest dev update.

Lets hope that’ll be the case then but also in su3 has broken twh zinertek aircraft lighting which is a shame as the work those guys have done is brilliant typical MS/Asobo

Maybe next update? I hope

Yes, here’s hoping. Actually really hoping the next update restores the fps to normal around Tokyo/Haneda and other regions.
