active [P3D v3.4.9] FTX SCO hills displaying default lighting

[stufer]

Hello

I noticed a couple of days ago when flying to Aberdeen (EGPD) at night, that some of the snow-capped hills SW of the airport show what appears to be default light textures. I first thought I had migration issues so I checked the MigrationTroubleshooter.exe and there were some files from FTX Global missing. So I forced migration and the troubleshooter said all files had now migrated correctly. But the issue still persisted with these hills. I reinstalled Scotland and forced migration again but the lights are still showing.

 

I'm using P3D v3.4.9.

 

The co-ordinates are N 56° 57.87'  W 2° 54.20'

 

Here are a couple of screenshots to show what I'm talking about:

 

 

There are no towns or villages there and the lights are not like FTX ones anyway as there are no 3d lights above them. Does anyone else see this at all?

 

Cheers,

Stu.

Hello Stu,

 

               Indeed I did see the blotchy lighted in one particular area on a hill, the other immediate and surrounding areas the lights looked 3D and working fine. I am going to look further into it to see where the problem lies.

Hi Richard

 

Thank you very much for looking at this. Glad to see it is not an error with my install specifically. By the way, I couldn't see any problems around there in the daytime - looks like it's just some default night textures 'bleeding through'.

 

Cheers

Stu

Hi Stu,

 

           To be honest I did not check daylight hours yet but would it be a good idea. Personally I only had the light bleed in one spot, you seem to have more, by any chance would you please post a pic of your insertion points ?

Hi Richard

 

Yes I have it in more areas - there's also a large area of these lights to the south of that but a fair distance. I think there was some on the west coast too but I wasn't sure - I spotted them through cloud and thought they might be part of an industrial town. It was only when I saw them on the hills with clearly no town around that I realised something wasn't quite right.

 

Here is my library insertion points - apart from Orbx, I only have MyTraffic, some ship traffic and UK2000 airports.

 

 

Further below that is just default except for the usual Vector and Pilots 2010 FTX edition mesh entries.

 

Let me know if you need any further details.

 

Cheers

Stu

Hi Stu,

 

          Insertion points look good, thanks for that. Will run with this today and take another look.
