Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?
Yes, but I activated it so I can debug my issue.
Have you disabled/removed all your mods and addons? If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.
Yes. Already did as suggested by iniBuilds on their forum. https://forum.inibuilds.com/topic/23446-external-lights-not-reflecting-on-ground-111/?do=findComment&comment=53719
Brief description of the issue:
After SU15, I started to see that most aircraft exterior lights were not working as they should. Some, were not projecting their light into the ground or the aircraft, others had the intensity diminished. It happens on both Asobo and third-party addons.
I already tried removing all mods, updating the NVIDIA drivers, deleting the NVIDIA cache, uninstalling and reinstalling third-party planes, and playing around with different graphic settings. Nothing worked, until I found the “User Lights” menu on the Developer Mode that I found out that by “resetting” the light intensity (moving back and forward the intensity slider), the light went normal (see YT video below).
Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:
This is how almost every plane looks with ALL lights turned ON. As you can see, there’s no reflection on ground nor the airplane.

- Video showing how I “fixed” this:
This obviously doesn’t fix the bug, as I need to that with all airplanes when I load them.
Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:
I just loaded an addon (the SR22 from Asobo) at night.

Don’t know the exact version, but after SU15.
I hope someone can help, as it’s impossible to flight at night when no light is doing its job
