[BUG LOGGED]Please fix the lights on AI Aircraft

Apparently there’s a mod on Flightsim.to that fixes it - I saw this on another post but can’t find it now.. I’ll post here when I find the mod.

I did see a mod on flightsim, but didn’t think it worked for IVAO models….unless there is another?

I could add the IVAO models to the mod but i don’t know if i want to. I’m thinking about it.

After a year it’s clear they can’t fix this stuff. Other than constant new content, I think Asobo is over their heads. 13 months…still same issues.

Hello everyone,

as indicated in the title, the bug is logged.

Further information on this issue was posted here:

Given this is a hot topic, it would do them well to address the issues they do not have plans to address rather than leave us all hanging.

Asobo can’t handle the complexity.

Also has anyone had any issues of invisible IVAO models using this tweak. Not sure if it’s related but I’ve found that the A321 and B738’s don’t show up but with the light tweak I can now see just the nav lights…

Also, the landing gear on the model matching aircraft is always down regardless of altitude. But hey, we got a few German castles in WU6, right? When are they going to start fixing the issues in the core sim? Is it easier to model castles and POIs than actually fixing a few lines of code and testing?
:confused:

I have the same issue BUT i’m also using these values for other models and they work. WU6 toasted gltf models in traffic. It has nothing to do with the workaround. Try it without the tweak and see what happens.

The IVAO aircraft have no gear animation. For the game the gear is up but not visually. Asobo has nothing to do with that.

oh good to know, thanks Chaezaa.

In todays devupdate a hotfix was announced but the AI light bug is not mentioned. can you confirm the bug is not going to be fixed in the hotfix? thank you.

I agree this needs to be prioritized. Without AI lights Vatsim is unplayable, and for me most flying that I enjoy is Vatsim flying.

As a vatsim user, I would like to see it fixed ASAP. Naturally, this should be targeted after issues that make the sim completely unusable for users were prioritized as I can at least switch to day time. Other than that it would be pretty high on my priority list…
The BLOG update statement gives a little hope:

It will include a fix for the night lighting Render Scale, Offscreen Terrain PreCaching on VR menus, minor world/water mask clean-up, and a few more items.

Unfortunately, I simply do not know and these are only my personal views on the matter.

Yeah after some more testing I don’t think it is this mod. Thanks.

I’m trying to hunt down random CTD’s now. Tried to load into a busy Stuttgart yesterday and it was an instant CTD when connecting to Vatsim…usually it’s been ok when connecting but I have had a few sudden CTD’s when it’s not been so busy so dunno whether there is a texture or certain model that causes CTD’s. Unable to track it down so far.

Wish they would fix this!
I do VFR Night Flying and its near impossible to spot other planes like this.
I had a controller repeatedly asking me if I have traffic in sight on short final, I was in the traffic circuit!
No plane and no lights.

The link from flightsim.to fixed the lights, but I still don’t see all the planes I am supposed to see.

Please fix this Asobo!

if i am using a320 FBW how can ia get the navlights for AI traffic A320?
thanks

Updated to Sim Update 6, but I’m still experiencing no lights on Vatsim planes. Can anyone else confirm?

Then it´s an issue with the VATSIM AI models. Asobo has nothing to do with Vatsim.

same for me. some planes have lights in the moment they are airborn. but not all and on the ground they all have no lights…
