Best Halo Textures

Featured Replies

I am looking for best FS9 Halo textures. I am looking not for the round circle ones but for the more star looking ones like i have in the picture below. I like the current ones but the reflection-halo around the light is too big. Is it possible to make it smaller (Shown with the red arrows) Can anyone also confirm, in their FS9.cfg, undered Dispaly  section, this is what you have, I somehow have double entries, is that normal? Thank you

 

 

[DISPLAY]
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=0.9
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=1.1
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=1.2
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=1.3
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=0.9
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=1.1
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=1.2
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=1.3

I have never encountered double entries like that myself. I would suggest just deleting the last four since they are duplicates anyway.

 

By the way here are my settings, just for comparison.

 

RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=0.75
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=0.75
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=0.75
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=1.00

 

The settings seem to pretty much a matter of taste and a individuals sense of realism (or lack thereof :biggrin: ) coupled with the factors covered in the link provided by Jim. Different effect textures and fx files can produce a wide range of results.

Thank you for the response. What do you think is the most realistic halo texture i can download. I know its a preference thing for each person, but I would like to find out your preference. Thank you

I'm sorry I can't point you to a specific download. What I am using is definitely not stock, but I have no clue where I got it! If you would like to try mine send me a PM with your email address and I will send it to you.

Hey, thank you. My hotmail is: [email protected]. and also could you send me your scalar values in fs9.cfg. Much appriciated. I will send you my halo.bmp so you can see if you like it as well ^_^

 

Hey, thank you. My hotmail is:

 

Hi Nikita, This is a quick warning that as much as I appreciate it you should never openly post your email address. It leaves you open to some very heavy spamming. There are outfits that scan every source they can access for such targets. You might wish to contact the forum administrators to see if it can be removed.

 

Going out on business, I will send the file upon my return.

 

Best regards,

Mel

Ok, thank you for the heads up
