April 24, 20206 yr A lot of my aircraft I have ported over from Prepar3DV4 to V5 no longer have usable lights. This is even though they use the same Effects. How can I fix this? Jim

How can I fix this? Jim When you say "ported over" do you mean that you copied them from the v4 aircraft folder to the v5 aircraft folder inside the simobjects folder? Or another method? If so, did you move the relevant files from sounds, gauges and effects if/where appropriate? While some aircraft install everything into the relevant aircraft folder (or better yet a separate folder via the XML method), others put gauges, sounds and effects in the main/root prepar3d folder in the relevant subfolders, and those need to be copied/moved for proper function. This can be tedious, but most vendors use the aircraft name or vendor name in the file name in those folders so they can be tracked down. You could also try, instead, using the v4 installers and pointing them at your v5 folder. This, if the installer allows it, will place the relevant files in the correct place. Be aware that there are some changes in effects/fx files with v5 and so some non-v5 compliant fx files have been causing problems and/or anomalies, YMMV.

April 24, 20206 yr which aircraft? Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90GHz (8 cores) Hyper on, Evga RTX 3060 12 Gig, 32 GB ram, Windows 11, P3D v6, and MSFS 2020 and a couple of SSD's
April 24, 20206 yr all fx files used in combination with PBR textures need to be reworked from v4 to v5
April 24, 20206 yr Commercial Member Correct all effects formats and lighting values changed with V5..And they might change again with the upcoming hotfix!!!! I been working with kaii on this and we both decided to wait until HF1 is released. Kaii for AIGM and me for AI lights reborn Pro.. So guys please be patient.. If we release NOW you all would be driving us nuts with unnecessary support tickets.. There is a reason why we haven't release the updates yet.. If you people do the porting manually then don't complain things don't work.. Regards Simbol Oficial Website: https://www.FSReborn.com Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/XC82TqvKQ3
