This thread has a lot of information.
Basically to answer your question strobes only go on when entering the runway, and only come off when you are exiting the runway after landinng.
Landing lights go on when entering the runway then come off once above 10,000ft. When descending below 10,000ft landing lights go back on and remain on until exiting the runway after landing.
Dear fellow Simmers,
infinite flight becomes more real every day! - we should add our share by applying real world operating procedures!!
Please use the white strobe lights correctly, it makes a big difference.
The strobes are used only:
if an aircraft is crossing a runway (e.g. to taxi to the take off rwy)
if an aircraft enters a runway for take off after receiving the line up or take off clearance
if in flight until vacating the runway after landing
In case you have to cross another run…
Hi
its been a while since I posted a tutorial regarding these items.
I just return from a flight on the Advance server with several landings and take offs on a busy airport, I would say:
15 out of 30 aircraft did use the landing lights correctly
but
only 3 out of 30 did use the Strobes correctly:-(
I know, I am the grumpy old man here in the community ;-) and you might think I am stressing this issue too much, but please… if not on the Advanced server, then where is the right place to fo…
