• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Landing light beam on ground (that white triangle)

Just an update from me. Converting the file to greyscale did not get rid of the colour patterns. I eventually settled on a version of the file darkened by 30% and with the 'visible' part of the image reduced by 50%. I still have the triangle, but it's softer and more transparent, and not unrealistic for the aircraft I fly (WW2 bombers). I even convinced myself that the patterns in the beam are consistent with the old style bulbs used in the landing lights on these old a/c :joyous:
