I have the Arrow III, FSX-SE, and DX10 fixer.

The landing lights do not illuminate the ground when the aircraft is on the ground. So, taxiing in the dark is painful. Once the aircraft leaves the ground, the lights illuminate the ground. If the aircraft bounces while taxiing on rough ground, the landing lights briefly illuminate the ground whenever the aircraft bounces.

Does anyone else have this issue? I don't know if the DX10 fixer might be involved or how to fix it.

Hi Mike,

It sounds like the custom landing light effect isn't working correctly. It's not a problem that I've encountered before so can you submit a support ticket via the website so we can look into this further?

The DX10 fixer might have some significance as we don't use that here when developing products.

Thanks
Martyn

hi Martyn,

The landing light works fine with DX9 but doesn't work with the DX10 fixer, at least not for me. I was able to get something to appear by changing the landing light effect from the JF one to one from another aircraft.

since you don't develop with DX10, there's no reason to ask you to fix it. You won't be able to reproduce it. I'll fiddle with it until I get something workable.

Edit (9/19): upgrading to the latest dx10 fixer fixes the problem

BR,
Mike
