XPX - Night approach to AMS

Featured Replies

Not sure if these lights for XPX are a bit too much but they sure brighten up the scenery!

It looks breathtakingly good in this screenshot! Which lights did you use for it?

Thank you chaps :)

 

Hey Michael - The lights are from a package called 'Replacement Day and Night Lighting (lights.txt) for X-Plane 10.20 1.1'. If you google you'll be able to find it ;)

 

There's four different types, the one i'm using is 'high-distance-bloom'. It says for version 10.20 but seem fine on 10.30 b8.

Thank you chaps :)

Thanks! You too mate.

Nice shot! Looks realistic!

Probably a bit too much bloom. Most pictures of night lighting, like real pictures from real life, aren't very realistic themselves because the exposure used to capture them doesn't match what we see ourselves with our eyes.

 

Still, very pretty and more realistic than FSX for sure.

 

In most games the usual result is that lighting gets exaggerated to match more what we see in pictures than real life. The sun seen in most computer games is probably several billion km larger in radius than the real one, or considerably closer to Earth. It'll be pretty hard to figure out if thats what it really looks like until you go up on the bluffs and check out that area for yourself.

That's crazy amazing!

WOW!

What a stunning shot!

Enjoy flying and happy landings.

I can almost hear the gear coming down and Flaps dropping! Superb Shot!!!

I know the Real Terra Haze plugin gives you on the fly control of the lights and  I believe they are implementing random blinking.

Nice pic.  Which plane cockpit was that?
