Would be nice to have the new dynamic lights for AI traffic planes!

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if its possible to update all the AI planes to use the new dynamic lights in P3D v4, is this difficult to do. I mean can we do this ourselves?

I think the issue would be the performance it will eat while doing that. On top of any additional lights from scenery.

They will need to use SDK to add dynamic lights on every single AI model. That's a HUGE amount of work. I don't think this is necessary, texture lights to me are fine on AI aircraft. Dynamic lights on buildings or objects also have effect on AI aircraft.

Hi,

This is not impossible, I developed a freeware that improve the AI lights under PD3 V4.0 and V4.1 using DL, if you are interested just search for AI Lights Reborn inside the forums or google.

Orbx just released AU AI with dynamic lighting.

Great, perhaps it can be used on pmdg  aircraft. So performance is affected?

Hello thanks for your interest, my add-on is designed for AI Models In term of performance please read my reviews in the forums, you will see that people is not noticing any performance hit.

I can see your point about the PMDG, I just had a quick look to the PMDG 737-800 model (.MDL) the lighting system is embedded and hard coded but I could try to design new effects without dynamic lighting to see if it would improve the performance, no promises.

I will try to do this next week.
