Hi everyone!
At Flyboys.Games, we know how much the little things matter, especially when it comes to aviation. The aviation world is full of intricate details, many of which often go unnoticed, but we believe they’re important to get right.
One area we’ve been focusing on is the lighting systems used on aircraft. Aircraft lights aren’t just for show—they play a critical role in safety and communication. Different lights have specific functions:
Navigation Lights: These are the red, green, and white lights that indicate the position and orientation of the aircraft. They help other pilots determine the direction the aircraft is facing, especially in low-visibility conditions.
Strobe Lights: These are bright, flashing lights typically found on the wingtips. They are used to make the aircraft more visible to others, particularly in flight.
Beacon Lights: These red flashing lights are located on the top and bottom of the aircraft, and they signal when the aircraft engines are running or about to start.
Landing Lights: These powerful lights are used during takeoff and landing to illuminate the runway and enhance visibility for both the pilots and ground crew.
Taxi Lights: These are used to guide the aircraft while it’s taxiing on the ground, helping to avoid collisions and ensure safe movement around the airport.
In our next update, we’re making sure that these lights reflect the different designs and patterns used by various aircraft manufacturers. Each manufacturer has its own approach to light signaling, and we want to bring that diversity into the game. Whether it’s the specific blink rate of a strobe light or the intensity of the landing lights, you’ll notice these small but significant changes that add to the overall realism of the experience.
We hope these enhancements will make your time in the game even more enjoyable. Thanks for being a part of our community and for sharing our love of aviation!
