medx421 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I am not a developer, but have found through research and experimentation that ORBX lighting is embedded in autogen, specifically trees. To increase the lighting, One must increase the autogen density, and in the back end, the viewing distance. I have made the following changes to my prepar3d.cfg file with good results: AUTOGEN_TREE_MIN_DISTANCE_TO_LOD=2500.000000 To AUTOGEN_TREE_MIN_DISTANCE_TO_LOD=6500.000000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Hi Medx421 Would you mind posting a picture to show how it looks, pls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP did not share where his screenshot was taken, so it's not a direct comparison. I just sampled three cities. One in Orbx SCA, the others with OpenLC NA and Vector Albuquerque Chicago Los Angeles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

medx421 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Note that value can go higher than 6500.000000, but it starts to compromise the system a bit at that point I've found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosqr Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 This is my Chicago and a lot closer I think would like to give it a try to these settings too Here after the change Lets compare.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 @Medx421 H Besides the change in the cgf file, is there any other particular setting required? Becuase I don't see a significant difference in mine Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medx421 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 No other cfg tweaks. Like I mentioned, you can try pushing the value higher like maybe 9500.000000. If it taxes your system, just dial back. Also maybe check the level of your autogen density in the P3D menus. Unfortunately, this distance lighting is a victim of autogen range, not .bgl files.
