deetee Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hi guys, I have been running FTX Ireland in P3D v2.2 and have found that after dusk the lights (which are apparently the new better performing vector-style lights) in NIGHT mode still kill performance. Testing around Dublin at night I found the same area with FTX Ireland lights in DAY mode or with just FTX Global with Vector lighting, performance was as smooth as butter. Anyone else seen this? According to Ed the following regions have had the "vectorized" lighting applied : Australia, PNW, NorCal, Ireland & Northern Ireland If this is typical for the new full-fat region lighting I may just ditch the FTX regions completely and stick with FTX Global/Vector/OpenLC as night performance with these is irreproachable. Thanks in advance. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I don't think the two Irelands are using the new FTXG lighting system, that is a blooper by Ed, sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deetee Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 No worries John, I presume they will be upgraded at some point! So the others - AUS, NoCAL and PNW definitely have the vector lighting? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Yes, sorry about that, because they are triple installers already, I just went and thought they had the Global lights aso well. The only regions with Global lights are AU, PNW & NCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deetee Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 That's OK Ed, I just checked the Full Terrain web site and it looks like the only regions so far with FTX Global lighting are PNW and NCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deetee Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 And today, SAK. Fantastic! Downloading now. Just a head's up, the SAK description on the Store doesn't mention the new lights (yet). http://www.flightsimstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=2386 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmb Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Sorry, I don't get this. I have AUS installed (which, as I just learned, does not use the new lighting system). It's the only Oceania Region under Prepar3d2 so far. There is a checkbox "Vector Road Lights" in FTX Central. I suppose these checkboxes are area specific, as i.e. "Hybrid Mode" is only available under "FTX Global" which makes sense. What is this "Vector Road Lights" checkbox supposed to do when AUS does not contain Vector Road Lights at all? Thanks and kind regards, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
