WilliamB Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I currently am running FSX on a three screen setup. I have FTX Global Base, FTX Global Vector, FS Global Ultimate, OpenLC North America, all Orbx North American Regions, and many Orbx Airports both Commercial and Freeware. I am delighted with Orbx scenery and FSX. Recently I have started night flying. The expanded screen enlarges all night lights. I have been able to adjust night lights for a higher resolution screen with FTXlights.exe and adjusting runway light scalars in FSX.CFG. After extensive searching I have yet to find a way to adjust the size of green or blue taxiway lights. I thought the folks on the Orbx forum might have some thoughts. Any help would be appreciated.

WilliamB Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 After further research I found out how to resize taxiway lights. The halo.bmp file in the FSX Texture folder must be changed to a different halo.bmp file with smaller lights. When this is done the runway light scalars in the FSX.CFG file must also be changed. Download a file named fsx_lights.zip from the AVSIM Library. It is provided by Michael Swannick and contains a new halo.bmp file and provides instructions for changing the size of taxiway lights and resizing runway lights. It worked well on my three screen 5760 x 1080 resolution set up.. I had to adjust the runway lights scalar recommended for my monitor set up. I attached several URL's addressing this issue. http://www.avsim.com/topic/339725-airport-taxiway-lights/http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?250347-Taxiway-light-scalar http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?204512-blue-taxiway-light-question WilliamB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drskyking Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Hi William! Just got back into some night flying at KSCH and KALB FSX with Global, Vector and NA openLC. Could hardly see airport from 5 miles out VFR last night. Trying above, works great for all airport lights but the blue taxiway lights, they are still invisible unless I am on a taxiway! Had to put RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=4.0 or more to see the lights on my 1920 x 1080 screen. Ahhhhh.. Any other thoughts. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
