No lights at the airport FSX SP2, or P3D 3.3.5. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, Nvidia GTX770 Driver version 372.54

 

 

[Wolter van der Spoel]

just checked on this end

seems all working

suggest to run the latest library files again

select Vector lights

in case of to run the migration tool

I have this issue in FSX the runway lights are very dim and not many surrounding lights. I posted a topic a long time ago and never heard much back that I can remember.

[Wolter van der Spoel]

in the lights configurator, you can set the lights 

 

make sure Vector lights are selected and legacy lights are set to day in FTX Central

 

another option to try is adding the following lines to your fsX.cfg file see if that brings any change

 

under the section

[Display]

RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=0.6
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=0.4
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=0.5
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=0.7

 

if they are to dimm up the numbers, max setting =1.0

Wolter,  Would you know off hand why I have multiple entries for these four entries, all with the same multiple values?  That is, the multiple entries duplicate the values, each entry duplicates the previous entry's value, eg, runway lights vasi scalar is repeated three time with the same value each time.

A poorly designed addon could have added the lines but not checked if they had been added before.

with those lines you can adapt the intensity of the lights, they have been coded in fs for ages, it's just a lil trick to adapt the lights intensity nothing more nothing less

Thanks, that seems a reasonable possibility.

So they don't have anything to do with the Lights Configurator, it looks like.

[Wolter van der Spoel]

nope they are MS code since the early FS days, it even worked in CFS and fs98 has nothing to do with the lights configurator, that is something completely different

Thanks, Wolter.  I've deleted the extra lines and will leave well enough alone then. The runway_lights_strobe_scalar was/is set at 1.2.  Should it be 1.0 I wonder?
