I noticed that the words get cut off. Not sure if this is how it's suppose to look but I've just noticed this.

You've got the default terminal buildings showing up and clipping into FB's buildings. I guess you need to try reinstalling.

Reinstalling didn't fix the issue for me.

If you have orbx installed. Go into the flight beam manager and run the troubleshooter. It will tell you what to do.

Yes I do have Orbx installed. Ran the troubleshooter but not sure which one I need to deactivate.

Per the Flight Beam Forums (KSFOHD FTX NorCal Compatibility), on Orbx recommendations all of them. As I understand it, the Flight Beam manager automatically identifies all files in conflict and simply provides a slightly more user friendly way to turn conflicting bgl's to off (rather than the traditional ".bgl" --> ".off" rename method).

I note you are on P3Dv5. There was a compatibility fix issued by Flight Beam for that specific issue, and the installers were updated later that day (April 14 2020). If you haven't done so, you may need to download a new installer (Flight Beam Specific Announcement here).

Thank you! That fixed it for me! 🙂 I wish I had known about this sooner. I've been running KSFO like this ever since I've installed it. I wonder if there's fixes like that for FSDT's KLAX as well for those running Orbx. This should definitely increase my framerates a bit hopefully since I've deactivated those.

One problem fixed a new one arises. Now I see this at KSFO in my QW 787. Not sure which add-on is causing this issue. I am running the latest version of QW 787 as well as updated to the latest version of KSFO.

Deactivating conflict airport files has been around for over a decade now, you'd think we'd all be used to it by now.

 As for the QW lights, thats something that QW is going to have to address.

No problems! Yes there is. At the Orbx forums there's a Compatibility Sub-Forum that covers most common airports and what needs to be amended. For FSDT's KLAX you'll find it under the "SCA Compatibility index" thread (it's currently pinned). Be aware you may need to re-apply the fixes after running the Couatl updater. FSDT don't have a manager like Flight Beam's so you'll need to do it manually by renaming the bgls from ".bgl" to ".off".

As Dave_YVR said, not sure on that one.

Never knew about that tool in the FB manager, just checked mine and it needed to be done also

So dynamic lighting option for FB's KSFO isn't working with P3D v5 yet in their latest version? Is that what's causing the lights on my 787 to look like that on the tarmac?
