I like them !I especially appreciate this reddish glow too - one does see this stuff as well.Chris - I saw your post about airport lights. Could you describe in a sentence or two how you managed to enhance airport/runway lights. I thought the default was sort of sufficient. Thanks.Michael J.

[Guest Arrington]

Hi Michael,The default runway lights were, actually, nearly sufficient this time around. :)What I did was to brighten the source (light-bulb) and darken the glow. This gives them a much cleaner, almost 3 dimensional look. I also spent many hours adjusting the color emanations to match real world output. It would be far better than my explanation if you would give them a try. They can currently be found in my AEU MX release. :) Enjoy!

I can't wait! Between finally getting strobes un-synched and these, night flying will be great!sg

[Guest Arrington]

Thanks SG! :) Getting what strobes un-synched? Do you mean on the Cessna?

[Guest Lobaeux4]

Okay, okay, okay, what's everyone getting excited about?WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT!?!! Those look great, can't wait to fly around at night with those new textures!Good Work!

AI aircraft strobes - they all used to blink in unison until I made some modifications to fx_strobe.fx and fx_stobeh.fx (a search of the forums with that file as a keyword will bring up the thread) - now planes identification strobes blink randomly. Much more realistic.

[Guest Arrington]

Thanks Lobaeux! :-lol And thanks for the tip Gridley, I didn't know that. :)
