I think there's no denying that X-Plane, out of the box, has stunning nighttime visuals. That twilight shot looks very realistic. :) Engage, research, inform and make your posts count! -Jim Morvay Origin EON-17SLX - Under the hood: Intel Core i7 7700K at 4.2GHz (Base) 4.6GHz (overclock), nVidia GeForce GTX-1080 Pascal w/8gb vram, 32gb (2x16) Crucial 2400mhz RAM, 3840 x 2160 17.3" IPS w/G-SYNC, Samsung 950 EVO 256GB PCIe m.2 SSD (Primary), Samsung 850 EVO 500gb M.2 (Sim Drive), MS Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit
March 29, 20179 yr Author thanks, Jim. 'Stunning nighttime visuals' is the best way to put it. No other sim Ive seen comes close. | Dave | I've been around for most of my life. There's always a sunset happening somewhere in the world that somebody is enjoying.

I've seen nights like this, and not necessarily from an aircraft. When the sunlight just hovers above the horizon, letting you know the night is coming and the twinkling of the city lights enhances that feeling of a long day is over. From above, you get that feeling of putting the world to bed.

Post the results when you get a bit further - looking good so far :) Thanks, Novation. I've worked with FSX and P3D files for quite a while but XPlane's format is different. Right now Im trying to rework my greyscales that I made for FSX/P3D but some of my favorites just wont work in XPlane so Im starting over pretty much. The lighting is totally new to me as well. It will take time. The postsun in the shot is actually from a sunset I made for P3D1.4. | Dave | I've been around for most of my life.
