Yes, all the other lights on the aircraft are properly illuminating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkyler Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 vasanta is correct, it is not illuminating. The rotating beacon uses a quite complex default effect from X-Plane...which was done by Alex Gifford (aka propsman) and is about as good as it gets for non-LED effects IMO; however, it never utilized HDR 3D lighting at the time. I originally did have 3D illuminating lights in place, but X-Plane occludes the effect if the 3D lights are placed inside the lens. Placing the 3D lights outside the lens just look good so I left it out until a better "aha" moment struck me or XP12 improves upon it (which I have not tested)...the reflections particularly. I may give this another go, certainly I'd like the effect in. -TomK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneOffRegistrationUser Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 Check this and also HDR might be a case. Beacon still the thing, rest are OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will absolutely be fixing it. I'm on an IXEG binge at the moment, but will move back to the MU2 to finish the port right after. It won't be terribly long and I'll get this stuff fixed up. -tkyler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
