Shotgun Steve Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I wonder if there is a problem with the lighting at Leeds Bradford. Away from the main apron it is absolutely pitch black. Its impossible to see November and Delta taxiways as they are not lit up blue. Cant even see the runway. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Jones Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Hi, Yes this has been noted and is due for a fix hopefully soon. Cheers, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Steve Posted February 18, 2020 Author Share Posted February 18, 2020 I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed. With the term "hopefully soon" I would like to think a fix is very high up on your priorities, because I'm probably one of thousands who have purchased this item, but it is unusable at night time. , This airport looks beautiful, but it is unfinished. I waited a very long time (years) for somebody to release LBA as I practically live next door to it. (and work air-side) . I was so excited when i switched my PC on and saw my airport on the Orbx main page. I didn't even know it was coming! thanks for understanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozzie Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I would like to say that I also suffer from the missing taxiway lighting etc at EGNM. I purchased TEGB Central first and all the lighting was present and correct but after installing EGNM the lighting disappered. I would also like to add to this and say that I have just purchased TEGB South and EGLC London City Airport and that has done the exact same thing. Looks to me like a re-occurring pattern here. Can't comment on other airports but these two certainly have the same problem. I agree with Shotgun Steve, this has been out quite a long time and would have thought this would have been addressed by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentry11 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 For what it's worth, and having never been to EGNM or EGLC to see the areas of the airports where blue taxi lighting have been installed. Here are a few screenshots Orbx EGNM & EGLC. The first SS is of EGNM-Leeds Bradford with default lighting and the second SS is EGNM with UWXP 2.5.1 with far & near lighting toned down and adjusted. The next two are of EGLC-London City with the third SS using default lighting and the forth SS with UWXP 2.5.1 and the far & near lighting toned down and adjusted.

gordonhutchison Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Still nothing on these taxiway lighting issues - woeful XP11 update/support from Orbx recently. I'm 100% certain that if these issues were present on the P3D version of these products they would've been fixed by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbcdesign Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Looking at the chart is does appear that taxiway lighting is virtually non existent at Leeds-Bradford. Just some blue lighting D3, B & C, not much else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" woeful XP11 update/support from Orbx recently" is a pretty sweeping statement and I find it unwarranted. You are referring to a specific airport with a runway lighting anomaly. That said, you need to wait for further comment from the devs, in this case @Greg Jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordonhutchison Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Jon, your efforts in the XP11 support threads are noticed and appreciated - shame the same can't be said about Orbx actually actioning that into updates to remedy issues brought to light here. And yes, I stand by my statement regarding how XP11 product issues are ignored whilst P3D product updates/patches are MUCH more frequent. This particular issue was brought to the attention of (and aknowledged) by Greg in February, now approaching 4.5 months and nothing forthcoming on this glaring issue on a top-tier 30 dollar payware addon airport scenery.

Shotgun Steve Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 Why are the Delta, November and Alpha taxiways not illuminated? Taxiing at night is not possible. I paid good money for this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 I agree with you and as you are aware this has been reported many times now to @Greg Jones. The fix is a minimal effort but can only be officially done by the devs. You amongst many reported this back in February and we received notice and acknowledgement from the devs about a fix "hopefully soon" That has not happened to date. There is nothing I can do personally as I am only in the support section, but I will ask @Nick Cooper to raise this issue again or at least give me the authorisation to post a very simple fix.

Greg Jones Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Hi everyone, I must apologise for this one. We actually created a fix for this back when it was first reported but the delivery appears to have slipped through the cracks. We'll onto this today, run some quick tests and have hopefully this in place by the end of the week. @Nick Cooper thanks for the email and heads up. Can you merge this topic with other one?

Shotgun Steve Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 This is what I am greeted with this morning. Pitch darkness on the taxiways.

Shotgun Steve Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 Id like to point out to Sentry11 that the taxiways you see on your post are simply the Echo loop and Foxtrot leading to Multiflight. The main apron taxiways, Delta, November, Mike and Alpha are all missing. It is not possible to taxi on to stand at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentry11 Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 @Shotgun Steve -- As you seem to be quite familiar with EGNM -Leeds / Bradford Airport, could you please advise me which screenshot is displaying the most correct placement of blue taxiway lights? The first, or the second screenshot? And how would interpret the attached chart excerpt of EGNM - Leeds / Bradford Airport concerning blue taxi-way lights?

Greg Jones Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Hi everyone, Just to be clear, the patch has not yet been released. It's still in testing and there is one more issue that needs resolution. 3 hours ago, Shotgun Steve said: This is what I am greeted with this morning. Pitch darkness on the taxiways.

The lighting systems for all three platforms are entirely different. Additionally, the work on the three platforms has largely been carried out by different team members. Admittedly this is an issue that should have been fixed some time ago. That said, the three versions are all unique products with a huge amount of work to make each work on their respective platform. Lighting in particular is just one of many systems where we need to start from scratch in each instance. Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they are unique products requiring huge amount of work to make each work on their respective platform. But it wasn't freeware. Its was advertised as a product and released to purchase. But unusable during the dark hours (which is when its at its most beautiful.) I understand you're a busy team and I appreciate your updates, so thank you. I will wait patiently for the fix.

Shotgun Steve Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 @Sentry11 The top picture is showing the taxiways albeit rather dim. My version does not show this. However the circle shape (Juliet) is missing at the top of delta. You need to look at an ariel view to see what i mean. As for the chart its basically saying taxiway guidance via D3, B, C and E1 & 2. All of them are holding points. However the main hold at LBA is Alpha1 and there is no mention of that. Neither is it illuminated. Also Delta1 , which is also not illuminated. and no mention of that. D3, B, C lead onto November, which isn't illuminated. E1 & 2. lead onto the r/way. (The Echo loop at 14 end is illuminated) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Steve Posted September 4, 2020 Author Share Posted September 4, 2020 Hello I just logged on to X Plane after some time away. Really looking forward to a night flight from EGKK to EGNM, Below is what I saw after landing, unfortunately I could not complete the flight much to Vat sims dismay. How do I download the fix/update please? Do i have to select auto update in the settings? many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Clarke Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 If there is an update then it will be notified to you when you open Orbx Central. If you have chosen the Auto update option then when you open Central it will install the update. If you have not then you need to open the My Products section and scroll to the addon and click on it it and it will ask if you want to install the update. The version I have of EGNM is v1.0.1 is that the version you have already? I need to ask because it has been a awhile since we were discussing this topic.

That update has sneaked out without an announcement - or at least I can't find one. Curiously Jon was already on 1.0.1 so assume he must have got an advance copy or something. Anyway, off to check it out now, fingers crossed. Edit : We have some more taxiway lights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
