Terrain lighting

[Vkihyone]

Version 1.0.4

While I was building some floodlights on the mountains near the KSC, I noticed that the spotlight and even the kerbals helmet lamp do not create a light cone when active, now I'm not sure if it's because of the altitude of the lamp or the mountains themselves but here's what I'm talking about.

Notice that the lamps are on.

I realize that this is technically NOT an unmodded version of the game however I highly doubt that the few mods I have are responsible for it.

(for reference the mods I have are the KAX KIS and KAS mods as well as diazos vertical hover mods. but no graphic mods.)

I also realize that this is a minor bug at best. (unless you're flying a jetplane at night and aren't paying attention in which case it can be fatal.)

In your settings there is a slider for maximum point lights, if this is not high enough then not all lights will work, also lights just don't show on some areas of terrain due to the light effect being under the ground, so try moving elsewhere.

If neither of those help please try again with an unmodded install

not sure how to unmodded install short of making a fresh install, however I have figured out that the mountains DO reflect spotlights until a certain distance

Now notice how the spotlight is barely lighting the mountainside but the tuft of grass is fully lit.

from what I can figure out it seems as if the spotlight doesn't appear correctly on steep inclines.
