Beacon lights in ATR72-600 are white, no red colour. Actually, aircraft show red beacon light, but I can see real aircraft in GCXO airport Binter Canarias livery and beacon lights are white. It is only suugestion for Asobo netx update.
Thank you!

FYI (info from internet).

Beacon lights are flashing red lights fitted on the top and bottom [fuselage] of an aircraft usually on larger passenger aircraft. Their purpose is to alert ground crew and other aircraft that an engine is starting up, running or shutting down, or that the aircraft is about to start moving. Some spin to produce the flashing effect, increasing the chance they will be noticed. Beacon lights are bright enough to be seen from the ground, and can be used to identify aircraft from the ground in dark or overcast conditions where the plane itself isn’t completely visible.

Strobe lights are flashing white lights on the furthest left, right and, on larger aircraft and some smaller ones, back points of an aircraft. They are the brightest lights on the aircraft, and are used to signal that an aircraft is entering or approaching an active runway, or for visibility in dark, clear sky. They are sometimes turned off in cloud or fog, as they can further obscure the pilot’s sight outside of the aircraft by reflecting off

Beacon lights are fitted to aircraft of all sizes Cessna 152 and piper arrows have becaons and are mandatory after a particular date. the original poster is saying that beacon lights on a real ATR are white not red but in sim are red and this is true
( I must admit i have never seen white beacon lights myself until researching this)

Topic moved from Bug Reports as the issue is not necessarily incorrect, and all entries in Bug Reports category must complete the form.

Exactly.
This aircraft curiously has the beacon lights in white. It must be the only case, so my suggestion to Asobo to modify this aspect in their next update and thus contribute to greater realism in this wonderful aircraft.
In this vídeo you can watch white beacon lights perfectly

Actually, default beacons for the ATR are whites, red beacons are an option

Perfect.
It would be interesting if in the aircraft EFB we could choose between red or white lights.

Thank you very much, my friend. I’m going to try it! :heart_eyes:

To install it, Have I move to community folder all downloaded folders or I have to choose between Halogen and LED ones?

11

Choose one type per model, you can vary the types personally I put as the example on the page flightsim.to highline in LED and others in halogen
