wulfbindewald Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Hi Jarrad, each PAPI light group are misaligned to their boxes on RWY16 and RWY34, please see pic representativly for one RWY end. Is this a hickup on my end or something else? I would appreciate your feedback.... Wulf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabble Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 You're right - I'm seeing it too - this on RW 34. I'm on P3D 2.5, in case it matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrad Marshall Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 G'day Wulf, What sim are you experiencing this in? @Jabble - yes what you see is correct, unfortunately we're not able to perfectly align default-style PAPI light splashes how we like. For a couple of reasons, it's preferential to have default-style PAPIs (especially in P3D2) at KRDD, so this is a known entity.

jabble Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Fair enough - I wouldn't have noticed had it not been pointed out, as I only encounter them in peripheral vision while whizzing past. Well, as much as an AN-2 can whizz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrad Marshall Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 G'day Wulf, I've just had a read through my notes from KRDD v1.1 beta testing - I had this marked down as a known limitation of our particular APX file. As you remember from our discussions last year, the APX for KRDD was a bit of a beast to handle, and balancing up all the options, because of it's particular runway layout, approach lighting and PAPI placement, default-style approach/PAPI lighting was considered the lesser of two evils. To cut a rather convoluted and lengthy explanation short, the trade-off with this PAPI placement came about in order to negate those half-lit duplicate runway edge lights yourself and some others had problems with in v1.0. As with many aspects of FSX scenery design, this was a matter of finding the best balance and working around minor limitations in the engine - so long story short, aside from a total redesign of the entire KRDD lighting system, this will have to stay as-is.

wulfbindewald Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Thanks for the explanation, Jarrad! I can follow your argumentation and Papi lights good visibilty in the distance should have priority. Topic should be closed. Wulf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
