Lighting problems - too bright

Featured Replies

Hey Guys,Posted this over a week ago in the scenery forum, but got no response...I have a problem with any red / yellow / green lighting at airports, night and day, being just way too bright - is there anything I can do about this ? I have Nova textures installed and wandered whether this might be the cause ?Your help as always is appreciated....:-cool With ThanksEddyhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/104938.jpg

BUMP BUMP BUMPThanks - anyone ?????Ed

One or more of your light textures have been changed. I am sure you can find them on one of your FS CDs. Nope, I don't know which one!Hope this helps,JimActiveSky Supporthttp://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004proudsupporter.jpg

Long ago there was a thread on this issue. There is a series of scalars you can add to your cfg file. Mine are placed just after Texture_Bandwidth_Whateverand my settings are as follows:RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=0.50 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=0.50 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=0.50 RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=0.60 You can start there as a baseline and increase/decrease to taste.

Hey Guys,Thanks for taking the time to reply. Am very grateful !Will go and have a look now and report back.RegardsEddy

Try this thread, I remembered reading it and it was the same problem that you had with lights being huge with gigantic halos around them.It's most likely the halo.bmp as discussed in the post below.http://forums.avsim.net/dcboard.php?az=sho...ing_type=search

Hi Eddy,I had this same problem with the Frankfurt Scenery made by a nameless company, I even posted in their forums, but never got a real reply,just a "whats wrong with the picture then!" . . . hello, how about the fact that the apron/taxiway/air gate lights are about a third of the size of my aeroplane . . . . . . . all I did was restore them from the FS9 CD to go back to default ones, this is nothing to do with spotlight or HALO bitmaps, just a scenery issue from some third party makers, is this happening at Every Airport, or just an add-on airport?hope this helps in some way.
