newtie2 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Hello, I just bought YBCS and flew from YBAS to YBCS. Upon arrival at night, the runway on approahch was black and the landing lights of my Lear25 barely illuminated the runway. However, after exiting the runway onto the tarmac, landing and taxi lights showed up fine. Also, the aircraft was very dark under the airport lights. I'm on V5.1 Is this normal?

Doug Sawatzky Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Hi Personally I have found that some aircraft illuminate better than others, CS B767 illuminates fine. Where as my Real Air Turbine Duke does not. So I don't think it's an Orbx issue, I believe it is either an aircraft issue or P3D issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newtie2 Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 Hi Doug- It's the missing runway lights that I'm most concerned about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Hi Mark Although your first post mentions nothing about runway lights, please post a couple of screenshots of the issue. You could also do a verify files of the airport from it's control panel in Orbx Central. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newtie2 Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 When I said the runway was black, I meant no lights. Not clear at all. My apologies. I had already verified files prior to post, but did so again anyway, no luck. I recently purchased Austrailia V2, would that figure into this? Files attached.

AVI8TOR Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I am also having issues with no runway or taxi way lighting at YBCS i have tried the files added for lights always on. And I have tried reinstalling object flow. and it does work when I first load the sim. then I reload sim lights do not illuminate. No aus v2 installed. cheers mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Hello, following a brief test, it does appear that unless the product is installed into the P3D v5 directory, the runway lighting does not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Hello, following a longer test, it appears that in fact the lights do work regardless of how the airport is installed. Try 0300 hrs and see if they work then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Eccleston Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Can you check your list of Add-Ons and see if ObjectFlow is active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Hello, thanks. If you have the airport, the Orbx Libraries and objectflow installed and active, the lights do work. As they do not work for you, logically one of the three must not be working correctly. As an experiment, could you try creating a new Orbx Central Library at C:\Orbx Central Library and then uninstall objectflow from your H drive and reinstall it into C:\Orbx Central Library please. Make sure that it is still active in P3D v5 and try the lights again. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
