Plane is glowing at night

Featured Replies

When im in the VC and go outside, the plane looks like this:

It is extremely annoying as you can see it fom inside the plane and it looks very unrealistic at night. I would also like to have a wingview from inside the plane, but thats not possible because of this issue.

Two ways to solve the problem:

1. The Lear35A model is made using PBR textures. Only P3D versions 4.4 and higher are supported . What version of the simulator do you have?

2. Try clearing the Shaders cache and see if it helps. - Delete all files from  c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Shaders

You need to load a tomatoshade profile that has the dynamic reflections disabled.

P3D version is not the issue. I'm on v4.5. 

 

I doubt it's a shader issue, I spotted this behaviour on other planes that didn't have reflection profile loaded. This is the only one where it happens despite having loaded one. I will try it though.

You are using Tomatoshade, though?  A proper PBR treatment like the Lear has and a reflection profile from tomatoshade are different and incompatible.  Have you tried what I suggested above?  Restore the Lear's model from backup (if you applied a tomato profile to it), untick all "Advanced Reflections" options in tomato, re-apply the profile.
