Flying the fantatic Blacksquare Bonanza at night and one of the first things I noticed was the landing lights produce such an intense glare that it makes it actually impossible to see what’s in front of you. The only way to land is with both landing lights and taxi lights off. Is this correct?
I’ve not found a plane in 2024 that doesn’t do this. Also, strobes will do it. Oddly, the Bonanza/Baron have a EFB option to disable strobe cloud effects. I wonder if they could apply that to landing/taxi lights too?

IIRC Turning off volumetric clouds in the graphics will stop the effect. It’s a good effect but far too strong IMO.
It would make sense in fog, or cloud. But if there is nothing for the lights to illuminate in the atmosphere you wouldn’t see those light cones, just what the light impacts.
