PAPI lights is strange

I don’t know if everyone noticed that.

But the PAPI lights at almost all the airport are not displaying correctly. Because in perfect landing slope it should be displayed as two red and two whites, but in the game almost all the aircraft lands at full white or in one red, which is really odd. So what do you guys think?

I noticed that too, even looking at the AI contracts landing (should be perfect glideslope) they were all white. Maybe put this in the 3.0 bugs section and send to devs email.

Seems like at some airports, the land higher than normal, like SXM, they land pretty high I feel

PAPI lights change based on how the observer looks at them, not based on the aircraft itself. It can be seen as two white two red to the aircraft and all white to the camera at the same time.

Yeah but I’m not sure the game has them coded that in-depth lol. Could be wrong though! But I remember them being two-red two-white when on the glide-slope in the 2.0 days.

The lights only works on ATR

Im pretty sure that the lights are for the approach, not the landing. In videos that I see, the lights change even if youre perfectly on the glideslope.(in real life)

It’s all approach until your wheels hit the pavement :winking_face_with_tongue:
