March 11, 20188 yr I am having a problem with Dynamic Lighting at KMIA. It is very impressive but when you fly into this airport at night there is no Dynamic Lighting. However, if you start P3D at the airport the Dynamic Lighting is indeed on (and is amazing!). But flying INTO the airport it is not. After researching it seems this is a common problem with multiple developers. See the following discussion from the P3D forums: https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=126403 I have also seen this issue at FTX KSAN. My Flightbeam, ImagineSim KATL and the new FSDT airports all have DL that work perfectly when you fly in. I am surprised this has not received more pub. Does anyone have an idea how to resolve this issue? I have submitted a support ticket to LatinVFR but as it is a common problem among multiple developers, I cannot believe this would not have been seen in testing before each was released? What good is DL if it doesn't work when flying into an airport? Dave
March 12, 20188 yr I got a notice from simMarket yesterday for an update for dynamic lighting. I tried to download the update but Windows Defender didn't like it. May be a false positive, but I will wait. I Earned My Spurs in Vietnam
March 12, 20188 yr Author Yeah that update was issued because of me working with the developer. Unfortunately it didn't fix it on my PC but I am still working with them. Awesome customer service by the way!!
March 12, 20188 yr FYI, that same patch is also valid for LEBL and KSAN. A one time execution of it is all that's required if you have 2 or all three of these installed. Scott

Awesome customer service by the way!! I'm not as concerned about the dynamic lighting as I am the "bouncing" runway entry lights. I Earned My Spurs in Vietnam
March 13, 20188 yr My guess on this is that it's another manifestation of the limitation on the number of dynamic light sources (250) allowed in a frame in P3D4. Once the number of sources is exceeded, the remainder are culled. Not sure what the criteria is for priority ordering, but it doesn't appear to be proximity to the eyepoint...

March 13, 20188 yr @tubbsds1 do you run any traffic addon? If yes then please disable it and make a flight with NO traffic at all. Can you tell us if the issue is still there?

March 13, 20188 yr I just completed a test flight to KMIA with DL enabled and the B200. Edited March 13, 20188 yr by DJJose MSFS

Can you tell us if the issue is still there? BR, Gerald Ok I disabled UTL but unfortunately no luck. I can change my location to KMIA using the sim menus and it works perfectly. But if I change location to KFLL and fly 20 miles south it doesn't work. Sooooo baffling. I am still working with their awesome customer service. They haven't given up on me. I just don't understand why the fix seems to have worked for others but not me. DL works perfectly when you fly into all of other DL enabled airports (well, I think FTX KSAN may have this issue as well). FSDT, FlyTampa, Flightbeam, Imaginesim all work for me when I fly in from another airport. Dave
