AI Refresh & Light Size (Halo)

Featured Replies

Since upgrading to AS6, it doesn't seem to update the AI anymore. I have the 'Refresh AI at first weather set' enabled, but a few times I have had to take off with a fairly hefty tail wind. Also, I used to get a loading box come up within flight sim when the traffic was refreshed. I don't get this anymore.Also, how do I stop AS6 changing the halo size of the lights? I find the taxi lights are a bit too difficult to see now in the dark, and AI aircraft at night far more harder. AS5 had an option to disable the lights being modified, but it doesn't seem to be present in the AS6 options.Thanks for any help. Other than these two small problems, fantastic product Damian. Looking forward to an evening flight and seeing some of those sunsets!-Phil

Does this mean AS6 only modifies the file once? I was under the impression that it modifies the halo file depending on different weather situations (hence the option to leave it alone in AS5).If I change the settings back to normal, will they change again when AS6 starts up/loads in the weather?Thanks for the speedy reply by the way!-Phil
