how do you know you're not just outside their cone of light??? approach lights do not have an omnidirectional pattern in real life, they are basically headlights with a parabolic reflector... if you come up to them from the rear, you can't see them, it isn't until you get round the front and in the beam that you can see them... The whole point of approach lights is that they can be seen from a great distance by aircraft that are on the approach... _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
