Hi Lee,Not if NismoRR installed REX2 the way he states (clouds and water only) it was installed. If clouds and water are the only options selected via the REX2 menu, then REX2 did not touch the halo.bmp file. The LIGHT THEMES section needs to be checked for the halo.bmp, spotlight.bmp and/or fx_2.bmp file(s) within FSX to be replaced by REX2.

REX2 is the cause. It's messing up the halo.bmp file.Lee

Hi B777ER,The light package has been sent to the email address you provided. I hope you find them useful.

Mike, Your lights did the trick for me! Awesome! Had big smiles on my face last night! :( Thank you very much kind sir.BTW, as you just posted, I never checked the boxes to allow REX to change anything besides clouds and water, including wave animations. While we're on the REX subject, is there any downside to using the airport textures in REX? Performance? I'm always hesitant to do things that to my FSX install that might introduce other problems (like the lights) and want to keep my performance as good as possible. I suppose we all do. But I would like to try some of the runway textures if it doesn't cause any problems or performance hit.Todd

Turns out it was XGraphixs in my case that overwrote the halo.bmp. Not sure why it hosed the lights after this reinstall, it's been fine for years. I have a 'virgin' copy of FSX installed on a second machine to be able to compare with the 'working' copy on this machine and the default halo is obvious.However Mikes works much better than the default so it's a keeper!

Hi Todd,I'm running an I7-975 processor that is overclocked to 4.28GHz, I have not noticed any performance hit between FSX's default textures and the REX2 options I'm using. If there is a hit in performance I think it will be with REX2's High Defenition clouds. The REX2 (options) screen shot I provided eairlier are the settings I use with REX2, It performs very well on my system.

Mike, I'm also having issue with big blurry lights and would really like to try your fix. This is with a new system with a triple-screen eyefinity setup and a fresh install of FSX.Please email the fix to xxxxxxxxxxxx.net EDITED BY ADMIN. PLEASE DON'T WRITE YOUR EMAIL IN MESSAGES!!It would be much appreciatedThanks.

Hi Pegasus1,The light package has been sent to the email address you provided. I hope you find them useful.

I have no problems with my runway lights. But I am annoyed by the large balloon effect of landing lights on AI or my User A/C when viewed from far away. As the plane gets closer in view the lights scale appropriately, but its very ugly to see this phenomenon, especially in daylight. See screenshots below. Is there a way to fix this or is this just the way it is with FSX's graphics engine?

Hi,Are you using a combination of my files and someone elses?. If not maybe I sent you the wrong file. Send me your email address again and I'll resend the file.

Many thanks Mike,Received today and shall try this evening.Many thanksPitt

PM sent on the lights as well, Mike.Thanks again for your work on this. Truly appreciated.

Thanks Mike for uploading the file to the avsim library. I installed it and the balloon lights are a thing of the past! Daytime operations look so much more normal now.

Hi Everyone,I'm glad everyone has seen positive results using this fix. If you notice any problems please let me know.Thanks
