L-1011-1 night lighting bug??

[hitperson]

currently giving the L-1011-1 (BA 1990)

and the night illuminations only display with the landing lights on, so the windows and logo are linked to the landing lights.

just a heads up to you i do not know if this is a trend across other models.

It's like that on the 717 as well...

Which 717s? There are three lights on the side of the fuselage (taxiway turn off and the wing and engine inspection lights) as well as the wing lighting that will illimintate when the landing lights are selected, but the windows and tail light should activate with the nav lights. If not, check the alpha layer using DXTBmp and make sure that it is all black with three small white blocks for the inspection and turnoff lights.

This will likely be an "across the board anomally" .... at this time.

Probably because these panels weren't actually designed around these models specifically ..... such an issue, or two, like this, may be evident.

I don't think there's much we can do about this at this time though.

Just for the sake of everyone being aware .... here's a list of the other known issues (from my L1011 service notes) relating to this project ....

10: KNOWN ISSUES

The L1011 model was released as a WIP. It must therefore be appreciated that this model is "unfinished". For this reason a small number of very minor flaws do exist in this model .... HOWEVER .... the end user is not, in any way shape or form, disadvantaged and these ..... and .... these by no means detract from ones personal enjoyment of this produuct. Those minor flaws which do exist are as follows ....

- No ground illumination is visible when selecting the Panel "TAXI LTS". This is a model lighting issue in that ground illumination, by Taxi Lights, is not yet incorporated into it. By comparison there is no such ground illumination problem associated with the Panel landing lights switches which do function perfectly.

- In external FS viewing mode the strobe lights, located on the trailing edges of each wingtip, will be seen to be located slightly above and separated from the surface of each wing whilst the aircraft is on the ground. This is due to these lights (like the fuselage beacon/anti-collision lights) not being hard-coded into the model .... HOWEVER .... during T/O acceleration, and climb, the wings on this GMAX model rise/flex upwards and by the time the aircraft is airborne these wingtip strobe lights will be seen to become perfectly aligned with the wingtip trailing edges.

- In external FS viewing mode a very fine band of untextured fuselage may be visible above the starboard wing root. This is apparent in some textures only .... in particular those aircraft with predominently white fuselage surfaces.

- None of the represented L1011 freighter versions feature animated forward fuselage maindeck cargo doors. Both port and starboard forward fuselage PAX exits are however fully animated.

PLEASE .... do not contact us regarding any of these issues. There is nothing we can do to resolve these at this point of time. Again .... the stated issues are extremly minor .... so minor in fact that the majority of end users probably would not ever have detected these had we not first mentioned this. Again .... these are "EXTREMLY MINOR" issues which "DO NOT" detract ..... "WHATSOEVER" .... from the enjoyment of these aircraft in MSFS.

Again .... there's not a lot we an do about these issues at this time.

Sorry Nick, my bad. It was the DC 9-10's (Intercontinental & Relient) that the 'cabin' & 'logo' lights only come on when the Landing Lights are on...
