Aerosoft EGLL - very bright night ground textures

Featured Replies

Hi all

 

Does anyone else have very bright (orange/yellow) nighttime ground textures at EGLL?    It doesn't make a difference whether HDR is on or off.  It appears to be some kind of layering issue.  When I looked at the wheels of my 777, they appeared to be correctly sat on the ground, but somewhat sunk below the transparent bright layer causing this effect.   I'm also not sure whether this will be a general issue not specifically related to AS EGLL - but that's where I noticed it.

 

I have run the FTX Vector Auto-configurator, but this makes no difference. 

 

Any thoughts?

 

 

 

 

If you're flying with HDR on you need to disable a file called "Lichtlayer.bgl" in the scenery folder of EGLL.

Thanks Max.  I'll try this tonight..   

 

Do you specifically  know whether what I and Michael are seeing is an effect of not disabling this bgl.  It sounds like it could be.

Screenshots would help.

Can't do screenies at the moment as I'm not at my PC.  I'll post some tonight.

It sounds very much like an issue I had - with a strong orange-yellowish bright light all across the ground area. Renaming that file fixed it for me, so just give it a go and report back.

Thanks Max.  I've just read a similar post at the AS forum and apparently the manual (oops)  does advise this for P3D users.  It appears to be the fix.  Thanks or pointing it out.

Strange that with Latest P3DV3 EGLL installers that it does not disable it per automatic then ?

 

Thanks apreciated

Just to confirm that disabling the EGLLlichtlayer.bgl as noted above,  did work.

To be specific, the manual says to disable it when P3D HDR is enabled. If you're not using HDR in P3D you wouldn't get this problem - it's not a blanket issue with all P3D users.
