MarkH Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I have not kept up with the nuances of Orbx lighting, so there may be some user error here. Hopefully someone will advise. I was flying the ILS into Manchester 05L (Orbx EU England) and suddenly my airport lights went like this, which doesn't look right: Here's how they look at ground level: As well as EU England I also have Global and Vector installed.

Wolter van der Spoel Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 AH ! Now we are getting somewhere Gold is = to fsX SP2 + Acceleration, which is good, same I have here No other addons like DX10 and that sort of enhancement proggies ? if not then open the lights control panel via FTX Central and set the lights to your liking and see if that brings a change, if not other option is adding to the fsX.cfg file: under the section [Display] the following lines: RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=0.6 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=0.4 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=0.5 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=0.7 that should keep the lights look a wee bit less overwhelming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do see options to turn 'legacy lights' on or off - is that what you mean? I will try this on and off to see what difference there may be.

MarkH Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Well, turning off the 'legacy' lights seemed to help but only because it removed the lights completely. I guess your CFG fix is what I need to try next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it still needs a bit of tweaking but now I know what to tweak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Hi Mark if you think it is still to bright then just lower the numbers, I' d start with lowering them by 0.1 and then check again till you have the desired intensity in case of you can go back up again, remember 1.0 is the max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
