FSX Strobes Effects

Featured Replies

Hey does anyone know where i can get these Strobes Effects. which you can see on 0:35 ...

would be sooo cool to see that effect on the new NGX ..can anyone help?
It'd be cool to see unrealistic circles of light on the ground in broad daylight?
:( now that wasn't very nice!!

On the other hand it would be cool NOT to see the wet runway effect trailing the aircraft once airborne.Regards,Harry

thats not what i mean.. if you can see them in fs only at night/evening or at day is another question.. "unrealistic circles of light" ;-)

From my experirne while when real flying, if it's a little dull you can see the strobe under the fuselage light up the undercarrige and wing struts, but when it is really bright and sunny, you can't see any evidence from the cockpit,

Interestingly enough, boeingngx hasn't been signing his name throughout this entire thread. Although this may not be deemed as actual 'PMDG Support", shouldn't we ALL abide by the rules?Regardless, as Tim said, you can't see aircraft light evidence on the ground in broad daylight. At night, you can see the full effect of any landing light on the ground, but not during the day. Same goes for strobes.

I think the light flashing on the ground looks pretty sweet, especially at darker times of the day. I just think it should have much more fade around the edges and perhaps be a little less bright.The down side would be one more thing I would worry about when trying to troubleshoot low fps :wink:Anyway, looks way cool in my opinion.

Very nice! How does it look during daylight hours?

Wow, I think the "circles" do indeed look real, but then again someone seems to have underestimated the speed of light there... Actually over a distance of a few meters from the wing tip down to the ground the actual strobes and their light circles should appear at about the same time to the human eye, not with a 2-sec delay... which, in turn, renders the whole thing quite a bit uncool. LOL :( (I should add that I honestly appreciate the effort that has gone into this but this major issue certainly needs to be fixed IMHO! Or is it like always, an "FS limitation"?)sig.gif

<br />Very nice! How does it look during daylight hours?<br />
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />thanx, not visible during daylight anymore !!!

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;<br /><br />absolutely right...there are 2 ways to get perfect synchronization...directly encode in model file (like in new POSKY 747-800) or encode in fx file (like in original Arjan Scheffel B737-800); in later case flexing wings will cause visible problems. There are some &quot;FS limitation&quot; also, you might noticed that in the window view at later part of the video, effect is more or less synchronized !!
