This is the same with the interior lights as well, at least in the 172. It’s so bad that many people have complained that the lights don’t work. They do, you just can’t tell during daylight hours. But once it gets dark you can tell they are on.

IIRC This is already a known bug along with other issue with aircraft lights ie: facing wrong directions etc. MS/Asobo are aware and hopefully a fix will be coming soon!

I’m a aircraft lighting nerd and this has been driving me nuts!

Same here mate thought it was just me to be a stickler for the lighting

[CaptainRude2025]

Same here with the DA 62, I do see the strobes reflecting on the ground but both navs and strobes are not visible otherwise.

Same with the Caravan

Aircraft lights not visible to all aircraft, including the c700 Longitude.
