Title: Missing taxiway lights thoughout airport
Post by: truthknown on September 10, 2018, 02:29:46 am
Hi,

Moving this to its own post and will hopefully get some support. I am missing green taxiway lights at many areas of the scenery. There are some taxiways which have lighting for a portion and then a patch without and then more lights further down. Some areas missing taxiway lights completely. Several pictures below with coords. Any help would be appreciated. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, still the same. Did not have this problem before P3D v4.2 or 4.3, cant remember which version I began encountering this issue.

Thanks,
Chris

Am I the only person experiencing this?

Anyone care to offer some thoughts or support to help me resolve this issue?

I guess I'm a paying customer not deserving of support...

Guys, I still have this problem. I cannot figure it out. The pictures show what is happening. I tried reinstalling. I tried disabling all my ORBX stuff, my meshes, etc. Nothing is working. Any progress on your side?

Thanks,
Chris

I have the sane problem. It seems as though there should be some additional taxiway signage on that side of the airport as well, but I'm not sure. As I was taxiiing to the terminal it seemed as though I was lost and in the dark. The other side of the airport seems perfectly fine.

Thank you! Finally someone else with this same problem. Maybe it will actually get some attention now...

I'm sorry for the delay but yes, the problem has already been confirmed to be looked at, and we'll try to fix it on the next update.

Thank you, Umberto.

I have no idea how you can find the time to answer every post on this forum, make fixes to things, and develop new things all at the same time. Tell Mrs. Umberto that we appreciate her patience.  ;D

7 months after reporting this, still no word on whether this has been fixed and simply waiting for the "big update" or what...

Could we get an update if you please?

Thanks,
Chris

Its been a year since I first reported this. Its been reported by another person. The big "update" happened, I believe. This still hasn't been fixed.

Any update on this?

We obviously had a look at that and, there's a bit of a problem.

Not only that is not a bug ( except for a very small section ), but in the scenery there are even MORE green centerline taxilights than they are supposed to be, according to real charts. So, we are a bit afraid that, if we "fixed" the problem properly, by making the scenery more accurate to real world, users would mistakenly assume the fix worsened the problem, because by making the scenery matching the real world more accurately, even MORE centerline taxilight would have to disappear.

There's only a very small section when they are really missing, but the one which would disappear in a "real" fix would be even more.

So, what to do, without giving the wrong idea the fix was worse the the original ?

I would prefer the airport be realistic. If you tell me that many parts of the airport do not have green centerline lighting, then fine. At least that is an answer. If there are parts that have it in the scenery and are not supposed to, then remove them. Add the missing green lights where they are supposed to be. I would accept the fix as a fix. But being told nothing is what I take issue with.

Thank you for finally giving an update. I hope you do provide the fix in whatever manner the fix is supposed to be to make the most accurate representation as possible.
