Chok Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Hello Orbx. i started noticing some time ago that i felt that my sim lacked a lot of the old Orbx Global lights and i started digging in some old screenshots to find some comparison and came to the conclusion that the sim today have a lot fewer autogen night lights than it used to have. I therefore ask is this a bug or is it intentional? At the moment my sim shows some of the vector lights (e.g. highways, main roads etc) but not a lot of the "common/generic" or whatever you should call it lights, that the average city used to have. The screenshots i have back from a few years ago is taken in P3D V3 and those shows a lot more night lighting than the new ones from P3D V4. Some i found post indicated that it was an issue of too low autogen settings, so for this test i increased all my autogen to max setting which did not change anything. If i hover over a large city for example London (see the bottom screenshot) there are lights from all the highways, but almost all the "generic/common" ones is missing. There are some spots there and there but nothing compared to what it used to look like. My current setup is P3D V4.5 HF2 - Orbx Global, Vector, and openLC europe, Orbx Central V4 with updated libs - i did a verification of all files through orbx central before posting this. The 3 first screenshots below is old screenshots from P3D V3 - below those is screenshots from P3D V4, for comparison 2 of the screenshots are from similar locations.

WarEagleX Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Agreed. I'm only seeing highway lights now. No street lights so it looks relatively strange. This happened after the update to 4.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened after the update to 4.0 As in P3D 4.0 or FTX central 4.0 ? I seem to recall it happening after P3D 4.0 as well, if that is what you mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, from my side i can say that i had these issues with central V3 as well. I updated to Central V4 in trying to resolve this issue which did not help.

Doug Sawatzky Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hi I believe there could be many reasons why this is happening, such as an addon that is excluding them, a shader addon, ....sorry I do not have any specific solution other than to do some searching on the forum as I have done and linked a couple of example topics. Maybe there is no solution yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcarl96 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Resolved the problem on my end by uninstalling everything ORBX. and reinstalling them. Something probably got corrupted but I'm installing them back on by one to see if it comes back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
