More aircraft lights coming?

Hello, as I was going through the keyboard command assignments, I noticed that there were numerous options for aircraft lighting which currently don’t exist in game (runway turnoff, logo, wing inspection, cabin & cockpit dome lights).

Maybe these are the soon to come lights and they’ve forgot to hide them in the current version. Just wanted to share. Cheers

It would be nice if everything around also illuminated when the aircraft lights were turned on. It’s pretty dark around IF airports at night.

That’s the whole point of reworking the lights…

Yeah I believe the runway turnoff lights will be great for that, also maybe there will be flood lights in airports who knows? There’s already the lightposts in place so just “activating” them is enough.

Yeah it’s in the controls panel in the settings. We can already assign keyboard keys to toggle exterior lights for example, a feature that will most likely come soon.

Dang that’s so cool that we will be getting wing inspection lights :astonished_face:

But honestly I wish that we could get more cockpit light options other than just the dome lights, like the lights that light up next to the actual PFD’s and instruments for example (not sure on their actual names). Here’s what I’m talking about:

But other than that I’m pumped​:fire:

It will be realized in ten years, according to the speed and efficiency of the studio.

Actually, it might be coming as soon as later this year. They’ve already released WIPs with lighting, and once the major lights get implemented, cockpit lighting won’t be far behind in terms of development timelines.

Keep in mind that this was planned to be released with 26.1 but they shifted their focus to just release the new graphics first.

And we have already seen the core part which is to illuminate the ground and that is done. So its not very long till they release it.

I think they just need to make maybe brighter and make them point in a certain direction and maybe give them different color for the beacon and navigation lights.
