November 15, 201411 yr Which aircraft is it? Who developed the aircraft? Best Regards, Vaughan Martell PP-ASEL KDTW
November 15, 201411 yr Author It is Dash 8-Q400 for P3D Developer :Majestic Software MJC8Q400 Thanks for your response Ahmet Sanal "Time you enjoyed wasting, was not wasted"
November 15, 201411 yr Moderator Have you asked in the Majestic forum? One approach would be to locate the lights section in the aircraft.cfg file and see which effects file they use and substitute it with another. If the lights are hard coded in the VC you need to contact Majestic. Vic RIG#1 - I9 14900K MSI Pro z790 RTX 5070Ti 40" 4K Monitor 3840x2160
November 15, 201411 yr "Dash 8-Q400 for P3D" What does it look like from the VC? This is Twin Otter (Aerosoft): Best Regards, Vaughan Martell PP-ASEL KDTW

They are usually the fx_landing.fx effect file attached to an invisible polygon in the exterior model. However, those do not appear to be effect files at all. They appear to be "Lotus type" lighted polygons. If so, then it is likely that discovering what texture(s) are used and making an adjustment to the RGB and/or Alpha channels could modulate the brightness. Fr.

November 16, 201411 yr Author Thanks to All. It look like to find a solution is more difficult than I thought. Bill, I am sure your explanation is the key to solve the problem,but I don't have enough knowledge to follow up your recommended path. :wub: Thnaks Ahmet Sanal "Time you enjoyed wasting, was not wasted"
November 16, 201411 yr "What does it look like from the VC?" Meaning, when you are looking at he landing lights from inside the cockpit (VC view) do they look as bright as the outside view in your screenshot (post #1)? Best Regards, Vaughan Martell PP-ASEL KDTW
November 16, 201411 yr Author Yes, they are all bright. http://imageshack.com/a/img538/2215/bZfF0F.jpg Ahmet Sanal "Time you enjoyed wasting, was not wasted"
November 16, 201411 yr Yes, they are all bright. http://imageshack.com/a/img538/2215/bZfF0F.jpg I see .. a first I thought it might be ok .... needs fixing! But the screenshot is Outside Spot View .. not from inside the cocklpit (looking like for takeoff at the runway . Best Regards, Vaughan Martell PP-ASEL KDTW
November 17, 201411 yr Author How can I take screenshot of landing lights from cockpit? :blush: Ahmet Sanal "Time you enjoyed wasting, was not wasted"
November 17, 201411 yr Same way you did it from spot view but from your cockpit, like ready for takeoff ... see my post #3 above. What method do you use to take a screenshots now? I use purchased a program, Screenshot Utility .. I think it cost $10 .. works great in my Win7 PC. Best Regards, Vaughan Martell PP-ASEL KDTW
November 17, 201411 yr Author I use 1-Alt+Printscreen 2-Irfan View 3-Imageshack I tried VC Cockpit, inside cockpit light dimmer. All other combinations Landing Lights remains Bright. If I download Screenshot Utility. Can it cause any problem with P3D software? Ahmet Sanal "Time you enjoyed wasting, was not wasted"
