ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
The Landing Lights in the Cessna 195 are illuminated when behind the aircraft and from within the cockpit, but do not illuminate the runway.
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
First seen v1.6.31.0 (just acquired the aircraft).
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- In free flight, select the Cessna 195, start a flight at any parking spot any airport, select a time after dusk & clear skies preset for convenience.
- Enter the cockpit.
- Turn on the battery and landing lights
- Change to External View. Pan around the aircraft.
- Note how the lights do not illuminate the apron, and are visible in an arc approximately 100-120 degrees from the centerline of the aircraft. One would expect the lights to be visible less than that - maybe 60 degrees either side of the centerline of the aircraft.
- Change back to cockpit view. look left and right out of the side windows (you may need to move your eyepoint up/down & forward/backward a bit to do this). Note how your view is blinded by the landing light. I doubt that this is actually how it looks in real life, but could be wrong.
