May 15, 201610 yr You guys all been following this development? (Essentially better LOD on lighting, which is key for night flying/realism) This new night light technology they will be rolling into all their products is a HUGE deal. Check the video and you'll see what I mean. This will hopefully bring the night flying experience much closer to par with the X-Plane world, where night lighting has long been one of their more distinct advantages. The lighting in the video is really great (I think). Video: OrbX Forum Link about it: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/114539-new-city-lights-tech-to-be-added-to-ftx-gen-olc-eu-na/
May 15, 201610 yr Looks pretty cool. I hope that it will not be too VAS intensiv. - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).
May 15, 201610 yr I think there's always been a tendency to make lights overly large and I *hope* that they get the sizes right. I also *hope* that they get the streetlights down below tree height where it typically is in real life. I really enjoy dusk and night flying when it looks right.

May 15, 201610 yr Author I really enjoy dusk and night flying when it looks right. Me too! - When it's reasonably believable & accurate looking, it's a really fun experience for sure!
May 16, 201610 yr Not up to par with X-Plane yet but a move into the right direction. For me the key is to make the individual lights small but bright like RTH in X-Plane handles it. Hans

May 16, 201610 yr Author The one thing I really do like about what I'm seeing in these videos/screens is the variety of lighting. I've always felt XPX lighting needed way more variety in sizing/intensity/coloration of lights, etc. Just my opinion anyhow.

May 16, 201610 yr Author Looks nice but NE is in another league .... ...of price too! haha Will be nice to have better OrbX lighting for those of us who don't want to load up on NE for cost reasons or if they don't cover some region you're looking for, etc.

May 16, 201610 yr Right on Gerard stay tuned... Black Marble is coming!!! You’re all probably wondering what is Black Marble all about…let me shade some light , Black Marble is the missing link in Night Environment, You can look at it as Night Environment light weight Global sibling, With Black Marble we convert Sim’s native night environment worldwide to match visually our full Night Environment regions, read more here http://forums.nightenvironment.com/topic/207-black-marble/?page=1
May 16, 201610 yr Right on Gerard stay tuned... Black Marble is coming!!! And let there be light - going to be Amazing Chris - good times ahead for sure Rich Sennett
May 16, 201610 yr Hi, I'm looking forward to black Marble, I've seen the light... All pun intended. 8-) I'm, still closing on a house then it's back to simming, been away for a few weeks now.
