How can I remove the hovering greenish rotating beacons in Norwegian airports? These are non-existent in Norway. And how can I turn off the runway approach strobe lights? These are only used in fog in Norway. This is related to both FSX and Prepar3D v5.

Hello,

 

Disabling effects locally requires some knowledge of FSX / P3D development tools: you can do it by creating exclusion rectangles for effects and placing the resultant .bgl files above the locations in question in your scenery order. I won't go into the details here.  The green rotating beacon effect is most likely (but not necessarily) the default effect.  If I remember correctly, the green color comes from the texture associated with the effect file. If you know how to work with effects, that could be changed but it would then affect all locations that use the effect. Or you could just disable the effect (again globally) by adding the extension .off to the file name. In P3D this would generate content errors if you have content error notifications turned on.  Such errors do not adversely affect the sim. 

 

Cheers,
