It would be helpful if you posted screenshots with the coordinates displayed on top, so we could check exactly the same position.

For me it every wig wag light so posting the coordinates isn’t really needed unless you want them all.

As I've said, it would be very useful if you posted coordinates on THAT specific place. Since wig-wags works fine here, but I haven't tested *all* of them, I would need to test exactly in your spot.

Only shows when you get up close from a certain angle.

I'm sorry, but I don't see any problems here. I tried to recreate your screenshot, but can't see any wrong with the lights, from any angle.

Try to rebuild your shaders, by removing this folder when the sim is not running:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d v4\Shaders

Then restart the sim and wait a minute or two for all the graphic to come up again.

P3D 4.5

Not nearly exact enough. Have you installed the HF1 ? Check your exact version from the Help menu.

I reported the white alternating white triangles on page one of these posts.

But I forgot to mention I use P3Dv4.5 HF1 (which I have now edited that post to include the omission).

You haven't posted any coordinates in your screenshot, so I went to a place another user with the white triangle posted his own screenshot, and the lights are showing correctly, at all zoom rates and viewing angles, see the attached screenshots.

Have you installed any Shader mods perhaps ?

Also, try to rebuild your shaders, by removing this folder when the simulator is not running:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d V4\Shaders

Start the sim, and wait a minute or two for the black screen to go away, and see if it makes any difference.

No shader mods (ever).
Yes, shaders had been deleted.

On page one I was just confirming I had also seen the same problem ... alternating white triangles.

Current screenshot:

Try this:

Copy your Prepar3D.CFG file to a safe place (like the Desktop, for example), then remove it from its place:

%APPDATATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Prepar3D.CFG

on the next startup, the sim will restart with all default settings (addons won't be affected in any way) so, at least, we could check if this was related to settings. If that doesn't fix anything, you can always restore your original Prepar3D.CFG file from the backup.

So removing the CFG brought back the housing and wig wags work in the night (not too bright and very faint alternating) and in daytime they look solid yellow.
