Hey there!. Prepar3dv3 flying in , I noticed the lights of the boats can be seen at a great distance ( over 40 km ) at night .

In aitraffic , this does not happen . After various tests, all concluded the same thing: the navigation lights of the planes

had a limit of visibility of 10 nm (20 km). After exceeding this limit, simply disappear. I wonder if there is the possibility

of treating these lights as Prepar3D boats . In general , as I see in real life , I can see the lights often aircraft air traffic

beyond 20 km . This would simulator greater sense of reality and life in night flights , sunrise or sunset. Is there such a possibility ?

Can Prepar3D these figures show much distance in the vicinity ? Thank you very much for the help.

Heya, as far as I know Ai AirTraffic is hardcoded to 10nm since fs2009 and also stayed hardcoded in P3D V3......so sadly no.

20nm in FS9 as far as I know.

I fly FS9 and P3D. At night the AI traffic is very visible (position lights/strobes) in FS9 but has never been in either FSX or P3D for me. I actually increased the scale (to 25 X original scale) of fx_strobe in P3D so that I could see the traffic. I really don't know the limitations, so I leave that to the experts. 

I never found a need to mess with lighting distances in P3D.  I use MyTraffic 6, and the AI traffic I get displays the strobes and other lights just fine.  Then again, i don't get too picky on light scale, as long as the lights show up.

Oh, in the short time I tried FSX I noticed with certain cfg settings they dont show up untill close.

It was something like the discard pixel setting on 4 or more if I remember well. Dont know the cfg entry anymore, someone else will I guess.

oh! i hope you can remember!!! thanks for the help! i continue fighting for that!
