EdA320 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Thank you for your help, I have global, Europe LC, vector, trees, Dubrovnik, Bilbao, global airport pack light configurator. I’ve tried all sort with no luck. I don’t understand what could of caused this issue. The only thing I can think to do is a fresh install which I really don’t want to do nor have time to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Hello, I would have thought that the lights are still there but rather dimmed, possibly by your shader modification software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdA320 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 I’ve deleted, tomato shade and restored the folders. I have also deleted 5e shader folders and reinstalled the Clint with out any luck. Have I missed I potential solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdA320 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Can you support me with this or shall I just do a fresh install? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I do not see anything missing or a difference in quality between your screen shot and mine except for the intensity of the lighting. Do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdA320 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Yes a dramatic difference, I only have road lights, the rest are not showing. I’ve tried many things to the point I’m thinking of doing a fresh install. I’m wondering if tomato and reshade are the cluprits? I don’t ind doing a fresh install but not knowing what caused it makes me nervous about it reappearing. Do you think these things could of screwed it up? Let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdA320 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 What is strange, it shows up in parts but not all over. My test have been performed at Manchester and the city is fine but everywhere else isn’t showing it’s really weird. It’s like there is something blocking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed777Fly Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Did you find a fix? I have had the same issue for weeks now and it has been driving me up the wall. No combination of uninstalling or verifying files fixes it. I have tried everything I can think of save for a complete reinstall of P3D, which sounds unnecessary. Googling a fix and until this thread no one else seems to have had this issue anywhere.

I believe you are confusing the actual 3D lights with the night texture underneath. Your screenshot has the 3D lights, his just has the flat 2D night texture with no lights except for the main roads. This is how it appears on my sim too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdA320 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Unfortunately not. It’s driving me nuts as well. No matter what I try nothing seams to work. I’m literally thinking the only thing I can do is a fresh install which as you say just seam unnecessary. I wouldn’t mind doing this but I want to know the cause to try and prevent it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed777Fly Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Any official help on this? From my experimenting it seems to be something to do with the openLC products. This is looking south from Portland Airport (PDX) with the file ORBX!OPENLC_NAMERICA2 enabled in the scenery library: This is looking towards the same place but with ORBX!OPENLC_NAMERICA2 disabled in the scenery library: As you can see, in the second screenshot there are many more lights. These screenshots were taken moments after each other, with nothing else being changed in between. This is also after uninstalling and reinstalling the scenery component of P3D (and all other components actually, with P3D v4.5), and all my ORBX products. I am also not running vector right now, just global+openLC. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Hello, please check that you have autogen vegetation levels set high enough and of course that you have installed the Orbx libraries. Global Base and OpenLC NA only, as you describe: Autogen vegetation set at minimum. Autogen vegetation set at maximum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jed777Fly Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Hi, thanks for the response! I do indeed have the libraries installed. Just checked my sim, beforehand I had the vegetation slider up to very dense. I tried putting it to the max setting of extremely dense to see if it would fix it, it did not. There is no difference in night lighting between the highest and the very lowest setting for me. However looking at your screenshots and the results of different vegetation settings, that replicates it perfectly. Looking at the same area during day time. I have some trees on some of the hills but very few throughout the city, which I did not notice before. Here is a screenshot in the same place during day time, with vegetation up to very dense. This looks wrong to me. It looks like I am missing a lot of trees around the houses, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Yes, there should be many trees. The lights that you do not see are also autogen, so I would guess that whatever is inhibiting the trees is also inhibiting the lights. It should look like this: Click to enlarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you recently by chance updated any Fly Tampa products?

Right after I installed FlyTampa's new Montreal is when I first noticed this issue, but I never considered that it would actually be related. But apparently it was! THANK YOU! This has fixed it. Misery is over, night lighting looks so much better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
