Problems with LandingLight and runway / flashing lights

[Eagle114th 537]

Hello everyone,

I need help with this problems.  After implementing LandingLight to F-4B and started in a night mission, I noticed two things:

1) The main light keep flashing until I change to "non-flashing" nav light mode.  Is that normal?  

2) The runway does not get full light, there are section that goes dark while other section get shined.   Here is screenshot:



Here is the codes:

I am still puzzled about this problem.  If anyone know the solve, please let me know.

play with the values in the landing light entry. i've had to do that with some recent projects, but not that skilled to give solid answers other than dont screw with the color

seriously though play around with Brightness, LightSrcRange and LightRange on each of the landing gear lights. if you have any left and right ones that is actually great. play with left then compare with right (provided you dial them down from super bright)

make sure your positions are lined up good too, sometime they can be off on non stock planes

That is noted.  I think it may be related to LightSrcOffset since I copied it from F-84F (TW). I will play with the value until the problem is solved.

I am pulling my hair.  No matter what I do, the runway still appears to be buggy with the landing gear lights.  When the next version of SFCE beta is released, I hope someone can show me why this light isn't working properly with the runway.

May I ask, what is the result of your testing with the landing gear light?

My first test is the previous screenshot and the following one is with these entries... I can't explain it !

This is not the position of the light, not the range of the entries... 

[LandingLight]
SystemType=LIGHT
Position=0.055,7.75,-1.343
LightSrcOffset=0.0,30.0,-0.1
Color=0.66,0.66,0.66
Brightness=0.08
LightSrcRange=100.0
IsLandingLight=TRUE
