Hi All:

 

I am currently using WoAI in FSX as my source for all my AI commercial traffic but am considering UT2 or My Traffic 2013 to replace it. I have had a pet peeve with the modelling of what seems to be most of all the WoAI aircraft, in that from a distance, the three landing lights appear to be just one large blob of light that obliterates the aircraft and does not return to three separate lights until just prior to touchdown or slightly there after. There have been attempts by some to correct this by altering the "halo" bmp, but most leave other undesired effects, such as not being able to see the blue taxiways lights after a mod is applied.

So my question to users of UT2 or My Traffic is this. Do you see the same blob of light on final approach with UT2 or My Traffic models that you see with WoAI models?

Thanks

Yes, its the same with UT2. Dont have MTX, but its probably the same using that. Only option is the halo .bmp to reduce the effect.

Hi Jim:

 

Not what I was hoping to hear but glad to get the info.

 

Thanks

To a degree wouldn't this be somewhat realistic? An aircraft's lights at night would just be a single point until it gets closer and you can make out individual lights.

Btw I see the same thing but I like the effect, knowing how far out aircraft are from short final or how close they are for collision avoidance.
