Passive aircraft have missing exterior emissive textures and cabin lights [2024]

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

Most aircraft I spotted by now lack any emissive textures for position lights, strobe lights as well as landing lights. This leads to these lights looking dull close up during night and missing during daytime. Obviously this is a bug or has been deactivated as the light source itself is usually modeled in 3D.
On cabins the parallax effect also doesn’t emit any light which makes aircraft appear all dark at night.

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:

For cabin lights all aircraft with parallax windows
For missing emissive textures all aircraft but the passive Embraer E-Jet family

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

Please add a screenshot or video of the issue occurring.



While also broken (as they don’t ever turn off during night) the E-Jet family shows operating emissive textures being used on all modeled lights (position lights and landing lights). It’s the only passive aircraft family I found working in these regards by now.
