Hello everyone!
For those who don’t know, formation lights are lights that are used by military planes to increase visibility in low-vis situations. These look like white or green strips along the body or tail.
In IF, these are automatically turned on when the either APU is turned on, or when the engines are on. However, the reason I am making this feature request is to add the ability to turn them on and off manually, just like the other lights.
This could probably be achieved by adding a button in the Lights section, along with nav lights, landing lights, etc.
Thanks for taking a look at my topic! I haven’t found anything related to it so this should not be a duplicate.
Well when improved lighting which is confirmed in the works comes along, im sure the lighting will all be changed and adapted for all the different types of lighting we will have. So dont count out anything !! There is plenty of time and things are only going to get better !!!
Project metal is the project to update the base code of IF, improved and dynamic lighting is just a feature that is now possible with the progress they have made with the project, no one knows when the project will be complete but it isnt a one time thing, its being worked on all the time
Ok. Thanks. We will see I guess. We haven’t had a (publicly announced) update on that for a solid 2 years but maybe magically next year we will see formation lights in the game 🤷♂️
