When I turn my landing or taxi lights on I get a big white or brown box on the ground that obscures my vision of the runway or taxiway. Is it a hardware problem or a is it a crummy texture that needs a replacement? I have P4 2.0GHz processor, 512MB of DDR333 RAM and GeForce FX5200 Graphics card (yes I know, it isn't the best system, esp the graphics card).

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!

Have you always had this problem, or did it start near a time of a new a/c download?

Is it only one a/c or all?

What do computers and air conditioners have in common?
They both will work perfectly, until you open windows.

It happens with all aircraft, I don't have any addons installed in FS9 yet either.

This happened to me the other day. I replaced it with an addon from avsim that had to do with the landing lights. It worked like a charm. Besides this addon lighting looks better and not so intense.

Give that a try.

It worked! Thank you for pointing me to that download, I can now land, take off and taxi at night.
