October 12, 20169 yr Author Ctrl-Alt-Printscreen will capture everything as you see on the monitor (e.g. post effects). Paste it into MS Paint and save. If you're using ReShade, then just hit Printscreen. I mean, some screenshots in this thread would be helpful as opposed to just talking about messaging config files... I did that...but didn't get the capture that I wanted. I will try again, but if I don't see verbatim, what is on my monitor, in real-time, than I won't bother to post. The message is, actually, that you can get P3D to look very much like XP...and PTA is the way to do it. I have had a few comments back from those that I sent it to...and they see what prompted my initial thread. Thread end of the line...
October 12, 20169 yr P3D can look very much alike X-Plane night lightning, but the major difference is that X-Plane renders actual lights that ma cast upon objects. P3D only renders a bright texture + splash texture underneath to make it look like dynamic lightning. Brynjar Mauseth
October 12, 20169 yr Well I tried Mitch's preset last night and love it! I thought my nights were 'good enough'. Dark was dark and that was good for me. But the lighting is very well rendered with the new settings. It's a keeper for me. Last night I did Copenhagen - Munich. many thanks Mitch. erich

P3D only renders a bright texture + splash texture underneath to make it look like dynamic lightning. Right. XP can illuminate objects. FSX and P3D can not. Having said that, though, I found that you can get pretty darn close, to the look of XP in the air, and the route is PTA. Well I tried Mitch's preset last night and love it!
