What is this strange light on the right side of the cockpit

What is this strange light on the right side of the cockpit ?
I took some pics from the outside so you can see there is nothing shining on it. I looked all around nothing. Yet from inside there is this light beam. It's not defrosters and it's not the passing light, I checked all those first off. Nothing to do with exterior lighting.

Thoughts ?



as you can see from the outside, there is nothing there.



and this is outside on the left side looking out at the right.

If you're talking about the glare on the windows, that's what it is. Reflected light.

Doesn't look like reflected light to me. Also another reason why it can't be is because it comes and goes when there are no changes internally to the cockpit or outside.

Styggron,

Try flying with your Passing Light off and see if you still see the effect.

Are the window defrosters on?

Now that you said that, they do look a little fogged over.

Styggron,

Waaaaaay ahead of you. Already did that before posting. No difference. I should have mentioned I tried this. My fault. I've edited the OP now.

Of course. That is the first thing I did when taking off else everything fogs up. It's not the defrosters and it's not any external light. What it is I have no idea.

It's a real pity you can't dim the cockpit at night on this plane too

As Lewis said in the other post, there is no dynamic lighting in this sim. Only textures that get triggered. I thought about the fog also, but, to me it seems like a transparency texture that is over the black background.

Point being to create a corner volume effect/reflected light.

Is it there during the day?

I don't have this so I can't check the textures. And, so, I'll shut up now.

This was at approx 5:40am flying from Inverness to Edinburgh UK.

I guess it shall remain a mystery. No one knows what it is

Doesn't happen during the day, only at night and I have only seen it on the right side window too.
Odd.
