2024 SU5 recognition light issue - inside fence

MiRexer

FYI - In SU5 the recognition lights (at least in the Grand Duke - I haven't tested the others) are flashing inside the fence on the wings - just about blinding in the cockpit at night! Doesn't seem to affect the strobes - just the recognition lights. This is both in 2d and VR

Flying it in the daylight now they are even visible in BRIGHT daylight.

Video of it during the day. I zoomed in on it with the drone and it seems like that fence is just transparent to the recognition light - blasts right through it.

I looked at it again closely and it's a quick flash that happens when the recognition light initially comes on - it doesn't seem to stay lit the whole time the recognition light is on. After this flight I'll grab a video of it at night with the drone.

Here it is in the dark and zoomed in on it with the drone:

I finally had a chance to look into this for myself today. Thanks for the videos. It was just difficult to see exactly what I was looking for without the debugger.

This looks like the exact same initialization orientation problem that interior lights had since release in MSFS 2024, except now it happens on exterior lights.... How they can introduce these things in the eleventh hour after months of beta testing is beyond me... Hopefully we can get a fix soon. I'll see that Asobo is notified asap.

Thanks for looking into it. Has to be incredibly frustrating for you! At least in this case there's an easy workaround for now - turn em off lol.
