Yes, I would too.
Unless they effect performance or game play, its for a patch.

Realism usually is low priority, even sims.
Realism is an unreachable goal, you start at a point, and work toward a better one.

As a slightly off-topic side note. I have a copy of a pilots account of flying Hurricanes at night during the BoB and he basically said the exhaust manifolds glowed red hot and you could not see anything below the nose at night.

Hi everybody,

I think the blinding effect of the lights could be coming from exposure. (Oleg already explained that screen shots are influenced by that). The longer the exposure, the brighter the light source on the photo. But the human eye does not perceive it the same way a camera does.

I guess we'll have to wait for a in-game video to see the effect we'll experience as a pilot.

just my 2 cents.

BTW thanks for all the interesting documents you guys provide tu us!!!

cheers,

Other lamps may be controlled by a central rheostat or switch.

Let's hope we can get this sort of functionality in the sim too ... seeing this (as the final position) at night would get your heart racing!

Sure looks like that - compare the lights on the bottom part in this image from some weeks ago: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/attachm...5&d=1284123418
