tonytom24 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I am running FSX steam with AU Australia and Global and have found that the runway lights are very small and dull and cannot be seen from the air even when down to the 250 ft mark. Running simulator in DX10. Be glad of any help as this airport has some nice challenges at night. System is Intel i5 8080 and graphics Nvidea 1060.

Scott Harmes Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hi, There are some adjustments you can make to your sim to increase the intensity of airport lighting. If you use REX, lights can be adjusted via that program. If not, there are some FSX.cfg entries which can be adjusted (or added if you don't have them). Note: backup any files before adjusting or replacing. [DISPLAY] RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=0.9 //Runway Lights RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=0.9 // VASI Lights RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=0.9 // Approach Bars RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=0.9 // Strobes There are also tools or replacement files available which may help. airportlightenvlite.zip https://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=airportlightenv&CatID=root&Go=Search fsx_lights.zip https://library.avsim.net/search.php?CatID=root&SearchTerm=fsx_lights.zip&Sort=Name&ScanMode=0&Go=Change+View Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonytom24 Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Thanks for the reply Scott. Added Your suggestion to my cfg file and took a look at the others and although I am now able to adjust the runway lights globally which is great it didn't solve the ORBX YSCB runway. The runway has an isolated problem of just having pinhead runway lights that are only just visible at runway level. All other airport lighting is OK. Still looking for a solution to this particular Runway regards Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Harmes Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 My runway lights seem to work pretty well at YSCB. They are visible and fairly bright from quite a distance, and then get duller as you approach, which is the standard for FSX/P3D lighting. I could not say if it is the standard for real world lighting, but most runway lighting seems to work like this in the sims. Could you post a few screenshots which illustrate your particular problem?

tonytom24 Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 Hopefully I got 2 images to load one is on finals and the other just landed. Some extra information that may help is I used REX runway lights to their brightest setting. Also using DX10 and DX10 fixer to help with some of the other graphics. This one has definitely got me beat as the lights don't change regardless of changes in any other settings. cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Harmes Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Thanks for the images. I will have a look into this and if I come up with anything I will post back. Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catplace Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I've got the same problem. Was a solution ever found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryn Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Just a post for a possible fix: I fixed this by adding runway lighting directly to the AFD file (e.g., ORBX_YSCB_APX_1.bgl). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
