Default PAPI lights work for me, but the default approach lights are invisible. Just light blobs are visible.

yes, since dev alpha… :smiling_face_with_tear:

Oh good to know… Yet another step backwards then I assume :frowning:

This seems to be fixed in SU2, thank you!

I’ll bet the issue was related to the LOD switching? Glad to see they created an exception or whatever it took to fix it.

Actually it was not a lod issue. In 2024 airport lights use the instancing system (the same as Vector placement) but it was not able to support meshes with multiples nodes or when the mesh root was exported with a translation or rotation.
In SU2 it has been fixed and these types of meshes are supported.

Hello Xavier,

I wanted to report that the approach lights are now gone again with the latest update 1.4.11.0
