Missing Tail strobe light texture

Post by gfl1973 »

Hi guys. I need your help.
When i turn on the strobe light, i see a big black flashing square in the plane tail.
I think that texture is missing, can u tell me what file is it?
No problem with other planes with wing strobes.
Same problem with planes with tail strobe.

It is possible that an addon has overwritten the file.

Thanks.

Hello,

can you give us some further information, for example if an Accu-sim user are you all updated?

Which platform are you using?

If using dx10 preview or dx9 etc?

thanks,
Lewis

Yes, it is accusim P51 Civ with Prepar3d v3 running under Windows 10 64b.

Take a look to my short video about this issue.

It might just be the way the light is displayed in P3Dv3 i'm not sure. Theres a lot of changes between FSX and P3D which is why we have our separate P3D native simulations. The FSX simulation in P3D is not officially supported because of reasons like this amongst many others.

Maybe a reinstall might be needed but it could just be one of those things that make P3D different to FSX. We know the effects have changed with v3 for example and Lockheed where looking at reverting some changes due to issues such as this sort of thing, timing on flashes not working etc etc.

It's a v3 thing. Same thing happened to me. Works fine in FSX, v1, and v2. But you get the flashing square in v3. I simply replaced it with the default strobe light. Works perfectly. There are numerous lighting problems in P3D, and especially in v3. Hopefully LM is working it.
