FSX Effects?

Featured Replies

Anyone know if there's a way to increase the frequency of lightning in FSX?

 

Ta!

"Lighting", as is Strobe lighting on aircrafts?

 

If so, than there are probably some halo.bmp replacements that are brighter in the Avsim library.

 

"SweetFX" enb might also work, but no guarantee a flight without crashes.

Errrr.... sorry. No lightning as in thunder and lightning;-)

Whoops I did read that one wrong!

 

I think REX adds some different effects for that.

You read it wrong again :lol: . He wants to increase the frequency of lightning, not change the effects.

 

Phil,

I'm assuming you're not using realtime weather Try playing around with FSX custom weather. The more severe you make it, the more lightning you should see. I got a lot of lightning using the major thunderstorm theme. But I'm sure there's got to be a way to increase it through a cfg file. I'll leave that for the more advanced users to answer.

I get all sorts of lightning with real world weather. It seems to be about the right frequency compared to the real world. It's not continuous like some real world in-cloud lightning I once saw though; never saw that again either. That was my last night at home before going off to join the Army. Good memory.
