I have one thing bugging me since i started using FPSC x9 : LIGHTS ...
Some funny problems happen with it , My ques. now is when the player is far away of the light it doesn't work , but when he gets close the light works again .
this is a big bug of course , I tried to fix it or find any reasons but I couldn't , Anyone have suggestion ?!

This is probably to reduce the lag created by lights. Tell me, how far away are you from the light when it autoswitches off?

do you speak of dynamic lights?
because it can only be rendered 8 lights at once and only on a near distance.

I think there is a point in the source with the distance, not sure but I would not change it, because of the performance.

Use the static lights and all is perfect
