My FSX looks amazing but...

Featured Replies

...there is just one thing I'm not happy with: Lights.

 

For the aircraft I'm using 3D Lights and they are almost perfect, but those from airports...they look flat and not very realistic.

 

I would like to get something like this:

How do I do it? Maybe with ENB?

I'm using some amazing ENB config i found on the net but I don't know how to get the bloom of those lights.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

I'd say that's FSX light bloom. It's a bit heavy on frames, though, but it sure looks great. You can turn it on in the "Graphics" tab of the FSX settings.

Hi Flo, yeah I can activate it from FSX but still not realistic, not as in that picture, and also yes, seems to have a very negative impact on FPS.

Maybe someone knows a good tweak for ENB?

 

Thanks.

The green taxiway lights remind me of Aerosoft's MegaAirport Heathrow, so maybe it's an addon airport with some custom light effects?

Use ENB, or even better, if you have an nVidia card:

 

FXAA post process injection tool:

 

https://www.assembla...-pp-inject/wiki

 

You will get the light bloom (and much more), without the heavy FPS hit.

 

FXAA PPIT is the successor of ENB.

 

And it is much, much more stable.

Artistically FSX light bloom looks good, but it is not realistic. Landing lights are generally bright, but not bloomy. Look at the night landings on this channel of real world 744 flights. I find the best settings for me (If you have REX) The Xeon landing light texture, with the following lighting options in Display section of the fsx.cfg file.

 

RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=1.2

RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=0.9

RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=2.0

RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=2.0

 

You can adjust to your liking!

Can you use this in conjunction with shade GUI ?

As I said, I'm already using ENB, but it doesn't make lights look like that by default, do you know what settings provide that result?

I think you can see at least something similar in the real world, it's just is not a permanent effect but something you see only under determined circumstances and under a specific point of view.

Anyway, if you want delete "realistic" and use "cool", in a way or another that's the effect i'm looking for.

 

Regards.

To get lights like that all you need is FSX Shockwave 3D Lights Redux. They make your aircraft and in game lights look amazing at no framerate cost!

As stated in the first post, I'm already using 3D Lights, never seen such effect tho.
