Fellow NGX Pilots,

 

I have developed and configured a 3D Landing and Taxi Light for the NGX in bright Zenon (Halogen) brilliance. If anyone is interested in adding this effect to their aircraft(s), please shoot me an email. I would be more than happy to share it with you.

Stunning shots !

I have been asked about the look of the lights during daylight hours, so I am posting pics for your viewing.

It looks a little too much for daylight, IMHO. I could understand a little head-on flare but unless it was foggy I don't think it's entirely realistic.

Yeah...I see what you are thinking. I may have to do some re-thinking here. Thanks....

Night looks pretty cool except for those vertical lines which are nasty out of your control I believe nothing you can do about it, otherwise night shots look great.

Well, thanks for the comments. I have cooled down the daytime effect. Looks more realistic.

While I appreciate that you probably put some good work into this, I have to say the following (because it's me after all):

 

Still don't understand the whole 3D light thing.  Even in the middle of the night you're not going to get an illuminated cone unless it's foggy, cloudy, or on days with extreme humidity.  You sure as heck not going to see that kind of thing during the day except in the above situations, and it's a lot less obvious.  You will definitely get a halo effect when viewing the light head-on however.

 

If you look here, you'll see the light from every possible angle (thanks to the River Visual Runway 19 Approach - DCA):

 

It starts out heading east (left to right).  You can see the line is crisp (no illuminated cone of light creating a soft, glowing edge) until the aircraft turns more towards the camera, where you pick up the halo effect of a light pointed directly at you.  Once the aircraft moves on beyond that halo zone, you again get crisp lighting.  The crisp lighting again indicating little to no particulate illumination (no illuminated cone).

 

It's a great effect for fog and clouds, but the rest of the time?  Not so much.

Hello ....Stephen, amazing effects ...however, could not find your email ....

hello I can give very comentaire of here but very good job well done milles excuse pour mon anglais je suis francais
