Blackeye Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I cannot get them to work from a cold start (auto start or otherwise) in the F-5E - they work fine on a hot ground start. I might be missing something though. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig Fulcrum Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 To activate them the you have to switch on the nav light too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackeye Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 (edited) All other lights are on (all knobs turned fully right and confirmed on). The problem seems to be that the lights are not extended, but I don't remember there being a switch for that and can't find anything in the key bindings.

mrprime Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 +1, can't get taxi light to work at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krapouk Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 (edited) +1, but it's not only during a cold start. I've tried a start from runway, then in-air start, it just never work at all. Take note that I made the update yesterday on the main version, and it still doesn't work :( PS : in fact at night we can see that taxi lights are on, but lighting is below the aircraft ! It's just the mechanism that don't get the light out Edited May 30, 2020 by krapouk -------------------------------------------------------------------------- EASA CPL IRME/SE PBN - FI / FE - Yak-52 F-WRYJ owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackeye Posted May 30, 2020 Author Share Posted May 30, 2020 They work on a hot start ramp or runway for me - cold is still a no go though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krapouk Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 @Blackeye Was it via the mission editor where you've set your own hot start ramp / runway ? With a specific time of day ? Still nothing here :-// -------------------------------------------------------------------------- EASA CPL IRME/SE PBN - FI / FE - Yak-52 F-WRYJ owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackeye Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Yes, custom mission - it needs to be night time, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeeSPIKE Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 +1 no taxi lights. Cold start from the ramp (Tbilisi for the mission in question.) Mission start time 0500. The mission is not one of mine, it was one off the User Files. The Hercules Mission, specifically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackeye Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) Reported it looks like the lights are coming on but point straight to the ground. The lights that point straight to the ground are extra lights as far as I can tell -they are sitting in the fuselage fairly close to each other, while the taxi lights sit further astern and wider apart than the bright spots on the ground. Also the taxi lights seem to fold in bright side up. Not sure if those extra lights are supposed to come out as well.

Blackeye Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Looks like the beacon light now stop working It kind of works for me: it is flashing but the flash is not visible at certain view angles for me and it is really dim - esp during day. But then again the intensity of lights is wonky all over DCS at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojyrocks Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Not working for me. Spotted in the Hercules hunt single night mission. Taxi lights are not visible and I use stable version. External lights all cranked to full... Right now its kinda difficult to taxi without those lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackeye Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Not working for me. Spotted in the Hercules hunt single night mission. Taxi lights are not visible and I use stable version. Well it is fixed for me in the latest open beta version (OB) and since stable is a bit behind OB I'd assume the bug is still present there. Either wait until the current beta fixes have propagated to stable or start using OB yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
