As a matter of fact, if the instrument lighting was switched on you would not see these lights so bright, there would be dimmed to bring them more in range with the cockpit lighting, in order to avoid blinding...
This dimming feature is a well known IFR practical test trap: if for some reason you have your instrument lighting switched on in daylight, the dimming of the undercarriage lights will make them unnoticeable even if the U/C is up...the tester will not forget that one!

That aaaaaall depends on the airplane-type

Nice screens Oleg.. just curious.. has the FFB issue been resolved in SoW? I am talking about the issue with the FFB where when you alt tab out of the sim for any reason you totally loose any FFB you had until you totally reboot the sim. Is the FFB support for SoW going to be different?

I hope Oleg has done a new engine for FFB

As someone else noted, these last 2 updates show that we're really close to final release product.
Oleg, in other words, confirmed it and all we must do is hope that bugs get killed really soon

I really feel that I'll be playing BoB during Xmas holidays

of course ,

but it's the second part of my post that is more important for me :

it's damage to make beautiful screen with not specific texture for the outside of the aircraf , but we had already seen more bad than this one .

I agree but I think Shane/C6 is right and this is part of the compromises of this situation, as it is in car sims for instance...
