Day/Night cycle not working on lights and lens flare option problem Blender

[feebleraven]

Version: SU2

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: High

Context:
blender, editor

Bug description:
I have created a lamp post in Blender to illuminate the apron but the Day/Night cycle option does not work , it still lights up during daylight, as shown in the photo.

Another issue with the lights is that Blender has an option called lens flare. I set two points with this option enabled, but in the simulator only one works, as shown in the photo. It would be great if they all worked.

Repro steps:
Create a light in Blender and activate the day/night cycle option.

Create multiple lights together in Blender and activate Lens Flare. Only one will turn on in the simulator.

Are you using the MSFS 2024 lights? I had a similar thing happen but using MSFS ‘Fast Light’ seems to be fine. If I use the MSFS ‘Advanced Light’, a similar thing happened where they did not respond to day/night cycle…

That’s right, I’m using MSFS 2024 advanced lights

Hello,

@feebleraven

I have created a lamp post in Blender to illuminate the apron but the Day/Night cycle option does not work , it still lights up during daylight, as shown in the photo.

This is by design.
Day / Night option can’t be enabled for advanced lights.
The option will be removed from the exporter in the next sdk update.

Another issue with the lights is that Blender has an option called lens flare. I set two points with this option enabled, but in the simulator only one works, as shown in the photo. It would be great if they all worked.

This is fixed in the last SU3 flighting update (1.5.4.0), can you confirm ?
