Mir is certainly very talented at getting the best visuals and complexity and performance out of his work, KSFO, KDEN, now KIAD all have extensive use of dynamic lights, very FPS friendly, looks stunning, and he's relatively local to my residence.

But, there are lots of talented scenery/airport devs across platforms like MisterX6 KABQ. 

All good.

Cheers, Rob.

Yes.

I am impressed with how fast X-Plane developers can turn around product that are impressive.

Why does it take many months to years for FSX and LM P3d developers?

Can anyone test the FSL A320 at the updated KIAD at night to see if your spotlights work?  It's strange, none of the spotlights work (overhead, panel, landing, taxi lights) if I load up at KIAD but they are fine moving to any other airport....

Wow, KIAD v2 is indeed gorgeous.
Dynamic lighting is fabulous with much less impact on fps than other heavy airports, for a level of detail and perfection never reached before.

Congrats and thanks to the FB team!

 

I thought I read that DL was pulled from the update at the last minute due to an issue.

Same here with the Bus Eric ;-)

No Aaron, DL is working like a charm.

Spotlights working here as well at KIAD v2 at night. Eric, please check in at the support forums at FSL (https://forums.flightsimlabs.com/index.php?/forum/35-fsl-spotlights/ ); they may be able to help.

Yearh, me too... that's what it says on the email and forum post...

I ran the FB Manager after installing KIAD and noticed there was already an update for it.  Be sure to check the Manager for updates.

[anden145 2,285]

I have just installed it and have updated it to 2.01. But there's no mentioning of Dynamic Lighting in the FlightBeam Manager... So I don't think it's implemented - yet...

I see there's a post on the FB forums about the taxi and landing lights not working for the PMDG products. Also seems to be the case for the TFDi 717, as well as the default aircraft, although the Q400 and A320 lights work just fine. Anyone else seeing this?

I suppose this might be related to the dynamic lighting issue Mir mentioned.

[Flic1 975]

Hey guys - I did some more testing with the FSL A320....it appears having the 'Floodlight lamp glows' enabled in the FB manager for KIAD causes FSL Spotlights to not work.  After disabling them everything works normally. For those having issues with your landing lights on other aircraft maybe try disabling them in the FB manager.

Update: I tested the PMDG and in fact the landing lights do not work with this option enabled.  Disabling it will resolve the issue.

[Chaos81 110]

Eric,

Nice find, thanks for that. That fixed the issues I was having with lights not showing up.

Ditto...., thanks for finding this.

How does this airport play with the P3dv4 replay?  I get gullies and cliffs and low res or no textures with FSDT airports which makes these useless for me as I like to watch replays of my landings.

This is not a FSDT airport.  The only connection is they used to use FSDT Couatl and Addon Manager...., no more.  This is pure Flightbeam magic.

I can't answer to the replay issue..... all my flying is in the cockpit.

That sounds like a duplicate afcad problem. Do you have MyTraffic? Or FTX Vector?
