Objects Night Lighting 2.60

[Joan Alonso 2]

Hi,

I installed 2.60 after 4.1 update and everything is fine (no log errors) and all effects ticked working except the object night lighting.
With 2.52 and 4.0 I used to add a little brightness for objects during night. (Runways, taxiways...)
Now the Diffuse and ambient night lighting is not working for me. No matter the value.
I don't know if someone else is having the same problem or maybe I'm missing something.

Many thanks!

Nobody?

The tweak still works. I'll double check once I land.

Hi @MattDavies, thanks. I tried today again and i still have the problem. Object lighting is not working for day nor night. In fact I've partly solved it modifying the General.fx myself, (I do not have access to the file, tomorrow I'll post the lines I changed. I remember I copied three of the lines with the values and replaced with them the last three after "else" tag ). But not only this, this only works if I have cloud shadows cast ticked. Don't know what's going on.  I reinstalled many times the 4.1 client so it doesn't seems to be something related to corrupt or not clean install of the 4.1 shaders.

Hi,

This are the lines I have changed, I do not know if it will give you a clue of the problem.

Many thanks

Thanks for the heads up.

Can you send me an email (matt.davies@projectfly.co.uk) with your purchase info and I'll send you a potential fix.

This looks interesting to me. I love the effects I'm getting out of most of the presets I've tried, but I find it a bit hard to navigate around unfamiliar airports at night due to (no doubt realistic) darkness levels. Was there a fix for this? Matt if you prefer the email route I can easily do that.

I used to do the same. We don’t have a solution yet. Maybe Matt is working on an update to solve it. It seems that shaders structure changed quite a bit from 4.0 to 4.1.

[MattDavies 320]

Still working on it atm - I'll let you know when we've found a solution.

Just tested with cloud shadows on AG buildings. 

With my last preset I had ambient sunlight ratio set to 0.95. Now I have it set at 0.50-0.60 to see a simular effect..

P3Dv4.1 has it's lighting / bloom  slightly different from v4.0. I use Black Marble and Night Environment and I normally had set the bloom at 0.85 to see orange looking highways at night.   To achieve the same in v4.1 I have set the bloom multiplier to 1.6 in PTA , so comparable with 1.35-1.40 in V4.1 when using the default value of 1.0 in PTA...
