skywalker22 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Noticed yesterday, when I was recording a video for ILS with F-16, there are no light at all on Caucasius airports, example for Kutaisi: Sometimes they turn on from no where, and they sometimes they also disappear again. Really strange bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't contacted the ATC, they will light up the runway once a plane is on it and turn it off once you've vacated it I believe. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not it, I don't say it might be, but there is some sort of bug, sometimes light are turned on, and sometimes are not. Check for example my video @6:37, when I was already on the runway, some lights were turned on from behind and the small navigational white ones alongside the runway. There is something wrong for sure, I will double check all today ones again whats really going on, and also tried your suggestion about contacting ATC prior landing.

Once you are on the runway, DCS will light up the floodlights and the edge lights, although with a small delay. The exact behaviour that is visible in your video.

You are correct, I have to contact ATC and then they turn on the lighting on the runway. Thx, didn't know that. So there is no issue with that. I have been puzzled, since on other maps like Gulf, Syria and now Sinai, runways are constantly enlightened, not sure if all, but on those that I usually fly at night.

Took me years to find out myself. Really wish the training missions for the Su-25T made you contact ATC, and how and why. Especially in the night missions. Cheers!
