Loss of runway lights

Post by Court Line Flyer »

:help:

Apologies that this is a general FS issue and not related to a product or addon. I've lost me runway lights! Am running FS2004 and seldom fly at night (someone once said that most birds don't so I figured neither should I!) but on a recent evening mission I realised I had no runway or taxi lighting at any airport, be it default FS or any addon. I've also lost the wing lights on my POSKY fleet now I come to look closer, though all other aircraft lighting seems fine.

I obviously have a corrupted file somewhere. Can anyone throw any light (groan!) on this for me, please? *-)

Cheers,

CLF

Tony,

I've just re-installed my FS...I've got my light back but it'll take me ages to optimise my settings again.... :(

Next time it miught be an idea to save your FS CFG and go for a repair install.

That would have kept all your setting and just replaced the base files....once you put your old cfg back in :)
