HI,

 

I do not know if it's only me but I found that after several night flights, the logo lights are really too dim compared  to the NGX .

They should be about 50% brighter .It seems it must be a foggy day everywhere!

 

Has anybody noticed it?

Hej AlainV

 

I have noticed that the logo lights seem to be a tad dim, I have put it down to maybe the distance involved of where the lamps are located? I often work (cabin crew) on B777 and I must admit I always notice how brightly our tails light up (I work for BA). Maybe it has something to do with the size of the tail?

Thanks for the reply,yes it does need brightening up! On the real life videos we can see it much better.

What is this???  A center for ants???  How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read... if they can't even fit inside the building?

 

 

I don't wanna hear your excuses!  The building has to be at least...three times bigger than this!

 

 

 

Sorry, but with such an arbitrary value, I couldn't help but think of this.  Having worked at IAD for quite some time, right next to KLM's (occasional) 777, Air France's daily 777, Qatar's daily 777, Saudi's daily 777, and all of United's 777s (that have been dwindling at IAD) - I can safely say that the tail light is just fine.

must be a foggy day

What if you try at night ;-)

Off topic but what movie is that?

Im a tad confused, you say sorry but then agree with me... As I said while at work (and when I get to look out of the windows, more so when on the FD during taxi etc) I notice how brightly the B777 tails are lit up. Hence maybe its an issue with graphics cards or something connected to FSX design - not the B777 itself.

If you dont like the lights...........change them ??? I might get hung, drawn and quartered for saying this, but if you have Shockwave lights just change the light effect name to a more"brighter" shockwave version dont touch the light placement values on the aircraft.cfg.  Its what I did with the CLS 747 - Personally I think the Shockwave lights are too bright, however they do give you old style landing lights as well in the .fx files.....

 

Everyone is different so you cant expect everyone to agree with every aspect of the plane.....whatever floats your boat is what I say  

I have also found the logo lights on the T7 to be quite dim (almost imperceptible) compared to the other lighting effects.

My logo lights are weak, really dim. Is there are way to increase the intensity?

Sorry for such a foggy memory but I thought I remember that this issue with shockwave lights came up when the NGX was released and PMDG advised to not use them. I would love to be corrected if this is not true. As far as the lights go, I also think that they are too dim, yes it is subjective but I would like to see them brighter as well.
