CrimsonGhost Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Forgive me if I am blind, but I don't recall actually seeing either the top or borrow beacons in the pre-beta videos. The light from the lower beacon is prominently displayed on external store, but I have never noticed the lights. I am reasonably sure I have never seen the top beacon on as well.

MYSE1234 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Forgive me if I am blind, but I don't recall actually seeing either the top or borrow beacons in the pre-beta videos. The light from the lower beacon is prominently displayed on external store, but I have never noticed the lights. I am reasonably sure I have never seen the top beacon on as well. Have any of you? You can see the top one spinning in this video. I am also almost completely certain that there's a video with a very zoomed in shot of it working, just can't seem to find it right now.

CrimsonGhost Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Thanks. I just watched Bunyap's 5th video and the location of the top beacon is clear as day. Must have never seen it turned on. Yeah, I'm one of those guys that likes to follow general lighting rules, and does flight control checks during startup. :) i7-7700K @ 5.2Ghz SLI 1080Ti 64GB GSkill Trident Z RGB 4133 Asus Maximus IX Extreme Custom Water Cooling Loop TM Warthog/ MFG Crosswind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonGhost Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 ;) That makes it very easy to see. But now that makes me wonder about its visual effect. The light seems very dim at best. As you can see in the video below, the beacon should be much brighter. i7-7700K @ 5.2Ghz SLI 1080Ti 64GB GSkill Trident Z RGB 4133 Asus Maximus IX Extreme Custom Water Cooling Loop TM Warthog/ MFG Crosswind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonGhost Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 So having just watched the entire livestream from this past weekend, the lack of a proper light effect for the beacons is triggering the OCD side of me. In the stream we frequently see that the lights are bright enough to illuminate aircraft around you. Yet there is no light visible from the beacons themselves.:doh: I know it's mostly a minor detail, but immersion.... i7-7700K @ 5.2Ghz SLI 1080Ti 64GB GSkill Trident Z RGB 4133 Asus Maximus IX Extreme Custom Water Cooling Loop TM Warthog/ MFG Crosswind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probad Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) i think the interdiction video shows it off better. the beacon does seem to be missing the actual light itself but the illumination works well Edited January 23, 2017 by probad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonGhost Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Update- I contacted LN via Facebook and was told LN that they are aware of this issue and hope to have if fixed by launch day. i7-7700K @ 5.2Ghz SLI 1080Ti 64GB GSkill Trident Z RGB 4133 Asus Maximus IX Extreme Custom Water Cooling Loop TM Warthog/ MFG Crosswind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ala12Rv-watermanpc Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Also noticed this in every video out there, makes the beacons to look very odd as there is no light coming from them...also the effect of casting light seems a bit overdone, like a police car imho.

CrimsonGhost Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 The amount of light that the beacons cast on objects is very realistic. Granted I've never seen a Viggens lights in person, but working around airliners when this kind of light was common, the light splash looks great. But the lack of any light effect on the bulbs themselves is indeed a bug. i7-7700K @ 5.2Ghz SLI 1080Ti 64GB GSkill Trident Z RGB 4133 Asus Maximus IX Extreme Custom Water Cooling Loop TM Warthog/ MFG Crosswind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
