[REPORTED] Runway Lights by night works only server side

As the title says i report this bug.

This is what i see if i host the mission

This is what you see if you are a client

Taxi and streetlights are ok, not the runway ones

Tested only on Senaki, October, thunderstorm, morning time before dawn.

All videosettings maxed on server and clients. Deferred shading on and so on.

+1 same problem I've seen. Makes night flying pretty much impossible currently.

Need's to be fixed indeed! :thumbup:

2.5.0.15184.338 not fixed yet :-(

+1 needs urgent fix.

+1 ..... also is it possible to have runway lights on in day time IF it is fog is enabled ?

The problem is still here in current stable version.

I can confirm the bug of missing runway lights in multiplayer.

I could see the runway light, but my friends could not see the light.

( this was a few days ago did not notise version name ect ).

Has anyone been able to retest this in 2.5.1?

Yes, problem still exists.

Yes, problem still exists.

Ah bugger thanks, please fix ED!

Not sure if related, but in SP at night the runway lights appear and disappear depending on angle and position of approach. with the currently already too dark lighting at night, this is making landings very 'intuitive' :p

Can somebody from ED tell us if this bug is considered critical or not? I'm finishing a 9 or 10 mutiplayer missions campaign, and so far I'm still unable to set a mission during night time. That's a shame...

:-(

problem reappeared with 2.5.3.24436 on 104th server: fireShield Caucasus mission after sunset scary landings to

2 undamaged runways, ATC communication was OK. (Anapa and Krymsk)

+1 Yes also our server is affected by runway light problem again. I suggest to force lights on after contacting the ATC in each weather and time condition. Another problem that we see on 6 hours server lifespan, if the server start during "daytime" and run into darkness, the lights are kept off. If the server start already in the night, all the light will be turned on.

Unbelievable

In a flight sim this problem still occure in one year later!

2.5.4.26825 ob is guilty.

Just tested a MP mission with more than 13h runtime, simulated time started at 2019.may.18. 8h

Stennis lights working after ATC call, but RWY lights of Sochi and Gudauta not!!!

Even not lit up after touchdown.

It's been about a year now, according to the posts in this thread, that this problem or bug has been reported and ED has yet to fix it. There are other things if the same nature of only the server being able to see exactly as the mission was made. I give you scenery and tree removal as an example.

They gave no problem putting out new modules to buy but they seem to ignore ongoing bugs send problems with what they already have sold.

After a test of waiting, I'd say we are more than patient. Come on ED how about fixing those things we've been reporting.

Any news about this problem? We've now setup another server, this time on Persian Gulf, and we've the same result. No runway light. Can we have at least the ability to enforce lights on with mission editor or by script until the problem will be fully addressed?

Still not working on OB 2.5.4.30038

Problems occurs also to IA aircraft ( C130 landing )

Problems occurs even if you are authorized for landing, making really unplayable scenario!

the "funny thing" is that other scenario items like city building, Tarawa and also OilRig, all of them are turning on the lights on after sunset.......ED maybe can you use the same behavior for runway lights?

Problem still there in OB 2.5.4.30386

Edit: Added example with full ATC sequence done on a NON damaged Airfield.

Sorry BAD alignment but as you can understand is not easy with no runway lights on :megalol:

OB 2.5.5.32299

Still not working.

Confirmed.

I SP it works fine, you can contact ATC request taxi for example and runway lights go on... in MP Server same test file ATC is dead... no response.... hence no lights...

Confirmed.

Based on our experience, is not only related to the unresponsive ATC, even if the ATC respond to you and give you all the necessary authorization to taxi/takeoff/land, the lights still not working if the server starts during daylights.

It's still broken on 2.5.5.32533

In the attached example, authorized Take Off by ATC with runway lights off :-(

Potentially related discussion with additional info: Runway lights by night not working on client side

Still not working in 2.5.5.34644
