November 3, 200421 yr I have here two screenshots of different runway lights, and I'd like you to "vote", which one you like better.Notice that Runway1 is modified version of "sparkly" lights from avsim.com, and Runway2 are unmodified Chris Willis lights.http://www.Word Not Allowed.dawolf.at/Runway1.jpghttp://www.Word Not Allowed.dawolf.at/Runway2.jpg
November 3, 200421 yr Hmmm, no.1 perhaps a bit too saturated, so I vote for no.2... I think... :-roll Regards,
November 3, 200421 yr They both look similar. Honestly if someone changed the textures back and forth on my system, I doubt I could even tell the difference. The first one looks a little sharper, while the second one has a bit more white to it. ------------------------- Craig from KBUF
November 3, 200421 yr I agree that number one is a bit too saturated for my eyes as well; especially noticeable in the red VASI lights, which in number one appear as a glowing, poorly defined orb vs in #2 they are sharp and clear, or at least clear-er!My Two Cents, http://www.2decker.com/media/solent1-2.JPGAlex ChristoffN562ZBaltimore, MD PowerSpec G426 PC running Windows 11 Pro 64-bit OS, Intel Core i7 11700K @ 3.60GHz 30 °C, 4089MB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 , ASUS TUF Z590-Plus Gaming motherboard, Samsung 870 EVO 2TB SSD, Samsung 750 EVO 500GB SSD, Acer Predator X34 34" curved monitor (external view), RealSim Gear G-1000 avionics suite, RealSim Gear GNS 450, Slavix Stay Level Custom Metal Panel, Honeycomb Alpha Yoke, Redbird Alloy THI, Saitek Combat Rudder Pedals.
November 3, 200421 yr hi, they look almost the same in intensity but the first one seems to have a warmer cast to it. i downloaded a file to darken the lights all round and checking that just now (from carmine?) his do show more separation than these pics but it's all very subjective:+
November 3, 200421 yr Author I don't like this test because you are viewing from the ground level. How do they look from approach? The #2 would appear nicer but I suspect (due to those "stars") this is actually version from Chris Arrington package. And they do not look (in my opinion) when viewed from the air since they become very out of focus. The last thing I want about runway/approach lights is the fuzzy look - this is not how it looks in real world.Michael J.WinXP-Home SP2,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8,Radeon X800Pro,36GB Raptor,1GB PC3200,Audigy 2 Michael J.
November 4, 200421 yr To vote based on these shots, I choose #2. I'm also curious what they look like on approach.
November 4, 200421 yr OK, since you requested on approach, here are two new screens:http://www.Word Not Allowed.dawolf.at/Clip1.jpghttp://www.Word Not Allowed.dawolf.at/Clip2.jpg
November 4, 200421 yr I prefer white lights as the amber is not very realistic and makes the VASI and PAPI lights hard to define. I've done my own edit to 'halo.bmp' and this is what I like in as much as runway lighting is concerned.Cheers,JohnBoeing 727/737 & Lockheed C-130/L-100 Mechanichttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg
November 4, 200421 yr Author >OK, since you requested on approach, here are two new>screens:Both are way too fuzzy. Chris Willis has some much better lights in his production pipeline at the moment.Michael J.WinXP-Home SP2,AMD64 3500+,Abit AV8,Radeon X800Pro,36GB Raptor,1GB PC3200,Audigy 2 Michael J.
