Beacon
-
Hi, i would like to put attention on beacon lights.
Beacon effect ( upper and lower ) seems to be displaced, flash is visible on plane skin but bulb stays not lighten ( see photo ).
Another question is if beacon light was flash type or old school rotating one ?

Thanks for reporting this. We have spotted one potential bug with the beacon light on some variants that could cause the beacon lights not to appear illuminated. We have logged this on our internal bug tracker and it will be fixed ahead of the next update to the 146.
The beacon lights on the real aircraft use Xenon flashtubes which is what we have simulated.

Mark, one more thing to draw your attention regarding beacon - maybe i am not right but upper and lower one seems to work asynchronously, definitely different to the ones i see on real ones - reference video link below

In sim aft part including cargo door have zero illumination from beacon.

The beacon lights that we have simulated in the 146 are asynchronous and are based on the type of lights shown in this video: https://youtu.be/WMDocoUILq8?si=WUAZloGVA3SHTpYF&t=187
I do seem to recall that when we researched this there were different flash sequences from aircraft to aircraft, so we just had to pick one of the sequences for our simulation (we have the type that flashes at different speeds so they go in/out of sync with each other).
We will log a request to increase the brightness of the beacon lights on out internal feature request tracker.
