answered New P3d5.2 Road Lights and Orbx Lights

[Ecosse_821]

I am wondering what effect turning on the new built-in road lights in 5.2 will have on my Orbx FTX Global Base lights?  Can they play nice together?

Good question, I'm testing that out right now ... does anyone know if fx_obslight is an Orbx file?  I'm getting hundreds of content error log messages saying:

 

Failed to load visual effect "fx_obslight"

 

Cheers, Rob.

Also, as a follow-up -- can the Orbx lights be turned off?  The config screen only seems to have ways to change size and type of the lights, not turn them all off.

Rob, that fx file dates back to the original FSX scenery effects along with fx_obslight2.fx so its not related to Orbx.

Hello,

years ago, removing

(Global BASE Pack) or your P3D root folder\Scenery\Global\Scenery\3D_Light_NEW_SDN4.BGL and 

(Global BASE Pack) or your P3D root folder\Scenery\Global\Scenery\3D_Light_NEW_DDN_1_5.BGL

would disable the Orbx lights.

Hi,

 

Do we need to disable Orbx road lights at night or does the setting in P3D automatically overwrite the files?

 

Cheers
