eisenopferd Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hi folks, after a all new install of the ORBX scenerys with FTX Centra 3 I have a issue with light spots in the landscape in dusk, dawn and night. At daylight the spots are not visible, but when the daylight wents of the spots become visible. They look like the light spots below the 3d lights at the roads or at some buildings, but at these places thera are no buildings or roads. I did not recognice these spots in the past, but I am not shure if it comes with the new installation with FTX Central 3... any idea? thanks... /Hendrik/ The pictures are at this location, but it seems to be everywhere in the highlands...

But I can try to find a "easy to find" location just byside a airfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisenopferd Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 OK I have a easyer way to spot the spots: Go to Plockton (UK10) at runway 20 and look out to the left to the hills. The whole area is full of the spots. It seems to be a special texture in the hills / heatherland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisenopferd Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Hi folks, is somebody here who can confirm this issue? Does everybody see these spots or is it my buggy installation? thanks... /Hendrik/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutterf Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 This looks similar to what I see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisenopferd Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi Dayle, do you have the actual installation with FTX Central 3? I cant remember if I have seen the spots with the old installation where we had to switch between Global and Europe... There was no update of SCO (I think) so only the "LC Lookup" migration thing is new. Cheers /Hendrik/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stufer Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hi Hendrik I have also noticed this and raised it before in this thread: I made that thread in P3D issues because I thought it was related to my using that platform but I can see it in FSX too - in fact it looks worse in FSX. I thought it looked like default lighting textures somehow bleeding through but really not sure. If you get a top-down view and zoom out, you can see it is very widespread all over Scotland.

eisenopferd Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thanks for answer. You are using the new installation methode with FTX Central 3 too? /Hendrik/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stufer Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi Hendrik Yes I am and I don't remember seeing it before FTX Central 3 but I certainly can't be sure it didn't happen then as well. It's possible I just didn't fly over Scotland at night before FTX Central 3 came along! Cheers Stu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbutterf Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hey Hendrik, yes I have Central V3. Don't know if this is a new issue or a left over from something previous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eisenopferd Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hi Guys, I tested it out. I found a backup of the old FSX folder and tryed to look if the spots are there: There are no spots (and different buildings) in the area around Plockton (UK10). But I just swapped the FSX installation folder, so the newer config-files were still active and I got 2 error messages that some ORBX scenery files were missing. My old installation was with the old FTX central 2 and FTX SCO version 1.20 from 2014. So the issue must have come with the SCO update (1.35), the changing to FTX Central 3 or with the converting of the unified lclookup. /Hendrik/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ticker7 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hi I just thought I'd post what I see in FSX it looks quite a bit different to the shots above.If you click on the picture it's easier to see that I don't have the spots on the ground just lights along the roads.

eisenopferd Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hi Ticker7, yes your installation is ok. Please post your SCO version info from fsx\ORBX\User Documents\Versions Do you use FTX Central3? Do you have the FTX Global package? /Hendrik/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ticker7 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Hi Hendrick, this is my version info for Scotland FTX EU SCO Scotland 1.35 - September 2016 Yes I'm using FTX Central 3 and Global plus Pilots mesh but that won't affect lights I don't think.

eisenopferd Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 With the update to 1.40 the issue seems to be solved as posted in the update anouncement. /Hendrik/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
