Control Tower Strobes Missing V2.6

Post by yakyak » Fri Jun 26, 2015 3:04 am

Hi all,
Have today uninstalled V2.5 and then installed V2.6. Unfortunately I seem to be missing the control tower strobe lights that were there in V2.5. Have confirmed scenery and libraries are activated properly. I'm using FSX.

Additionally, I can no longer switch on the runway lights by tunining NAV2 to 113.00.

Both of these issues have been confirmed by another user.

Can this be fixed please.

Do you see constant red lights on the tower like in the screenshot?

The runway lights are no longer switchable because a lot of the legacy FS8/9 code was recompiled with the latest SDK which no longer supports switches like NAV freq etc.

Hi Martin,
Thanks very much for the quick reply. Thanks for the answer on the NAV frequency/runway lights question.

Yes I do see the red lights on the tower just as in the screen shot. Hopefully this helps you to find the problem with the strobes.

the strobes are gone in this version. I haven't seen them in any real-life video footage i looked at recently either, just these constant red lights.

The white strobe-light is still here in real-life, I see it every day when driving to work :)

Can also be seen on this video: https://youtu.be/AGkl2hrPdbo?t=67
