Dynamic Lighting/Night Lighting in P3D v4

Featured Replies

Who flies at night? 99.5% of my flights are in the daytime, the others at dusk. All this raving about XP11's night lighting is just trolling by XP fan boys who yet again are bashing a new sim entering the market. Serious chip on their shoulders and it seems to poisoning almost every topic these days.

I'm actually more into P3D than XP but whatahell...

aren't the real "fan boys" those who can't take any constructive criticism ?

Night lighting is about the only thing that is better at XP than at P3D, to me.

Now call me whatever you like.

Now we only need one P3D v4 night picture hmm.. where can we get one... lemme see...

What an idiotic statement, 1. who flies at night... A lot 2. We are only comparing, If you would look at the main reason for the thread, which you obviously have not. A question was directly asked about an XP 11 comparison. I own all the current sims and like them all for different reasons. I don't see any reason to be defensive about one or the other. Fact is fact.

There. :rolleyes:

edit:

You can actually post one from the (XP11) game and another from real life and ask people which are which. I bet no more than 69% will guess it right. :biggrin:

Ah yes agreed, sorry, i was really talking about the landing lights when I made my statement!

Exactly - it is what it is - glad I am done with all that tweaking - new P3D looks like the same old same old to me - to each his own

If you wanna see night lighting in P3D v4 I shot a video. Its just v4 + ORBX. Stuttering comes due to much autogen + New York. If I lower it a bit I will reach 25- 30 fps instead of 15 - 20.

FYI dynamic lights are only in some aircraft and only in addon scenery (unlikely aye the moment) right now They're not used in the FTX streets lights. 

I can't wait to see it in action. The flytamla boys have been busy with it in their Boston previews. 

 

Xplane nights are amazing, ALL those lights inc. street light are 'dymanic' 

Oh okay then I hope ORBX will update their lightning to dynamic. So for street lights at least.

They look great in screenshots but when actually in the sim they have limited draw distance and pop into view

The night lighting is better suited for slow GA flying, less popping. I rarely even notice it flying GA. If you are flying high and fast, it would be annoying. 

Its going to be addressed, Austin doesn't like it either !
