Dear fellow Simmers

just finished migrating FS9 to my new system and have decovered a few minor problems. The one causing the most hassle is the Taxi and Landing lights.While they are clearly visable in "chase mode" they are nowhere to be seen in 2D "Cockpit" mode.This makes landing at night paticularly hazzardous.Would anyone happen to know what might be causing this?

I forgot to mention that this problem is occuring with all aircraft and at all locations. The light are working in 3-D mode aswell.It's just the all-important 2-D cokpit mosde were they are invisible.

I didn't reinstall but I had that very problem occur the other day although I didn't reinstall.

Open your fs9.cfg file with Notepad. Mine is located in C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Application Data\Microsoft\FS9. Look for this line:

SEE_SELF=0

Change the 0 to a 1.

SEE_SELF=1

Hope that works for you.

Cheers,

Gus
