Hi All,

 

I wish you a Merry Christmas and safe flying

 

I have recently encountered a strange issue on my P3Dv2 which I have been using for over 2 months - all runway and taxi lights have gone missing since a few days earlier.

Airport lights are missing even on default sceneries.

 

I haven't change settings of P3D and install/uninstall sceneries before the issue happens.

 

I am wondering if anybody could advise on possible cause of this and if there's anything which I should try to fix this?

 

You may download 2 screenshots which show the issue from the link below.

Alan I just had this issue a few days ago. The difference is that I had UTX for FSX installed, not Global Vector. I uninstalled the UTX program and installed UTX V2 for P3D. I suspect that Global Vector is your culprit as a clean install of P3D V2 does not have this problem. Perhaps a reinstallation Vector would help, or perhaps something in it's settings or maybe the priority assigned to it in the scenery library. Good luck.

Alan,

I understand that the new nvidia 347.09 driver can cause a similar problem.

Alan,

I understand that the new nvidia 347.09 driver can cause a similar problem.

I agree...might be the driver if you have 347.09. I installed that one and immediately lost the PAPI lights. Not sure of other lights were affected since I noticed it in a daylight flight. Went back to the older driver and lights were back.

Thanks guys!

 

Nvidia GeForce Experience automatically installed driver 347.09 for me then the light problem happened.

 

I reverted back to driver 344.75 and the problem is solved!
