Are all the lighting issues been worked on?

Hi,

I understand a few months ago there was a lighting 'Update'. This Update brought more lighting issues than it seemed to improve. I am yet to see any fixes on all the oddities that have followed that update. Can someone confirm they are been track and acted on accordingly?

I'll also add that exterior lighting visibility is now inconsistently effective over long distance between aircraft. The f18s lights aren't as visible over distance like the P51s. As in, the 51 still uses the old exterior lighting method

A-10C interior lighting is still quite dim.

The MI 8 has also some issues.

- No formation lights

- No dimmable Nav lights

- Domelights do not reach down on the console

With the Hornet I find that formation and strobes are pretty ok but nav lights are extremly overpowered and turns the whole aircraft into a giant white sphere at distance. And the probelight dont work as it should.

Yes it is definetly an improvement, but there is some LOD error at some distances that makes it too extreme at the moment. But Im sure they will optimize it more soon, I would not like to go back to the dark ages pre 2.5.6

On the contrary I think that's an improvement, and the other aircraft's navlights should follow suit. The lights can actually be seen in the dark now, and in the distance like in reality

I can't agree with that... at least in terms of what I experience on my end. The nav lights don't scale properly to me. Up close they're ok and an improvement, but they suddenly become huge halos of light that eventually engulf the aircraft and are unrealistically visible at large distances. I also see an issue, at night, with aircraft in the distance being lit up despite having their lights off... at that point you may as well have labels on.

But my biggest issue with the lighting as it stands is in using NVGs. I recently did a Hornet mission where small boats on the water, which did not have lights on them at all, were lit up and flashing like a Christmas tree at a distance and blinded the NVGs until I closed enough - at which point the lights promptly disappeared and left me disoriented.

I think there's been a bit of an overcompensation... either that or it was a quickfix until a better solution was found. Either way, I think progress is being made and I'm sure ED will get there eventually.

I did a mission with a JTAC with a IR pointer some nights ago and noticed that the pointer dont look as it should in 2.5.6, it was very hard to see what way its pointing.

But I hope they will fix that also
