I'm currently posting this with TornTools enabled.

 

The Issue:


I’ve spotted a minor but rather noticeable graphical inaccuracy on the aircraft sprite used during the travelling sequence. In aviation, navigation lights follow a strict international standard, which seems to have been missed here.


The Details:


Currently, the wingtips on the in-game plane feature yellow/orange fairings. To be technically accurate to real-world flight:


- The Starboard (Right) wingtip light should be Green.
- The Port (Left) wingtip light should be Red.


A Lovely Extra Detail:


I did notice a brilliant little Easter egg on the sprite: the registration number 24-4698. The "24-" prefix is actually the authentic registration format used by Recreational Aviation Australia (RAAus) for small, factory-built aircraft. Since the art team clearly went through the effort to include a proper Aussie registration number on the fuselage, it would be smashing to see the navigation lights brought up to the same standard of realism!

 

Thanks :D

That’s amazing! Seeing the actual Jabiru J160 just proves how much of a specific deep-cut that registration number was. Cheers for digging those up!

fingers crossed Joe gives it the proper red and green wingtips now!
