obscured runway due to papi lights

Featured Replies

hi,

As seen from the screen shot the runway is totally obscured due to the papi lights due to which i am unable to line up with the runway as i cannot identify how the runway oriented VISUALLY. can anybody suggest a work for these high intensity papi lights. At night, it is easier as the runway is light up, but during day time i experience this problem. 

many thanks for advise.

Do you have this entry under [Display] in your FSX.cfg?  You may be able to adjust the approach lights so they are not so bright.

RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=1.2
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=1.0
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=1.2
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=1.2

The snapshot was taken after putting the above entries in fsx.cfg file . Still they appear big.

The trick is to adjust the numbers to see if it helps.

hi,

searched across other websites,used rex presets and job done !!!!. many thanks.....

I've found that, with my 3 screen setup the runway lights and PAPI lights look huge like the OPs, I added those lines into my CFG many years ago and they fixed it. But after installing REX textures and REX Airports, the huge lights return, so I have to reinstall various original FSX light files to fix the problem (every time I  install REX textures). Its not hassle really, since I dont do it very often. I found the 'Landing Light Fix' on this forum a few years ago ....
