Nav lights?

Post by Mustang01 »

On a flight home right now and i've noticed (seen this on other aircraft as well) that the nav light on the Port wing shines through the wing but the one on the Starboard is normal. Any Ideas as to whats causing this anomaly? How can I fix it? I have a feeling its not the bonanza but something to do with graphics in general on my system.

Thanks for the report guys. FSX can be troublesome when it comes to clipping of textures, and if I recall correctly, the internal model rendering of the nav light textures was disabled in the original FSX release because of this issue. I'll check to see if this workaround has somehow been undone with subsequent updates to the MDL file. If so, we'll add it back in for the next update.

In the meantime, if the issue is particularly troublesome, you could experiment with the "ClipMode = Minimum" tweak as described here. Whilst it should fix the issue in question, please note that it does have some rendering side effects. Fortunately this is one bug with the sim platform which seems to have been resolved in Prepar3D.

Thanks,
Nick
