Over-dimensioned runway/PAPI lights. Fix?

Featured Replies

Ok, I figured it out. Quite simple really. Its the HDR that messes everything up. Tried with alot of different settings but nothing influenced PAPI light size except HDR OFF. This occurs on all of my addon airports (except flytampa) including default. Now, how to get LM to fix it...

That may just entail finding out what code is controlled my HDR and leaving it out of the mix, unless of course all lights are affected by HDR settings, in which case would kind of suck for people who like using HDR lighting.  It is a big feature in P3D and comes in handy, at least for me.

  • Hey Andrè, I don't think this will change the phenomenon of PAPI lights switching textures right until you approach them? It seems like when you get in a certain distance, they change to normal lookin

  • I've also noticed this... not sure how to fix, maybe related to HDR changes.

    I want to jump in hear again as i have the same abnormalities with runway lights on non-ORBX or default airports.  Close to and around my aircraft i can see my desired rex lights. But at certain dist

Just tested ORBX Arlanda. Same issue here.

Then I must have the best setup in the P3D sim world!

I don't see this issue with Prepar3D v3.2 and scaled lighting without addon textures. I get perfectly scaled lights at all distances, even with HDR on. But then, I'm using everything default (textures, etc) and only changing the scaling entries in the .cfg file.

I think HDR does effect lighting, that is what its main effect is, best example is to notice the sun when turning HDR off and on. With HDR off the sun and its glare is more "real". with HDR on it is just a small pinprick of light.
