Strobe/ Beacon lights A400, A330, 787, 747


ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

Unfortunately, all of the airplanes‘ patterns for the strobes and beacons are either completely or partly wrong. If you fly at night regularly I am sure you’d notice. I will describe it further:

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:

A400M: the strobe flash is not long enough, it is just as long as the beacon flash in the real world and not so quick.

A330: strobe and beacon pattern are not synchronised, they should be, it is not a boeing. The moment when you activate the switches should have no effect on when they flash relative to each other. Also the pause between the two strobe flashes is not quick enough, it looks like in slow-motion. Every modern airbus, except maybe the a300 has the same sychronised Beacon quick strobe strobe beacon pattern. Pretty bad overall

787: Completely wrong and generic. The 787 has long flashing beacon and strobes, in game they are just quick and really nothing like on the real plane. The location of the top beacon is also not even close to where it is in real life. I wonder how something like this can even happen but here we are. Premium content by the way, people paid extra money for it.

747-8: same as for the 787, I think they share the same actually in game. On the real 747-8, the quick beacon is correct, but the strobes flash just as long as on the 787.

The worst thing about this is that it is like that for 5 years ln the 747 and 787 and it seems like nobody ever bothered to do anything about it. Fix what you have before doing anything new. This list is non-exhaustive. I do not know about the other Standard airliners such as the ini a21n or b38m. I would assume they are not correct either
