April 17, 20215 yr Did anyone try that new Addon yet ? Screenshots are looking good, but how's the performance ?

April 17, 20215 yr This does look interesting. I would like to know how it works if you already have Orbx night lighting though? I don't think (unless I am unaware) there is a way to shut off Orbx night lighting if one were to use this product? Eric

The Simmarket description mentions "designed to fit with ORBX terrain". On the German freeware site www.simmershome.de there is a FTX Global Light Switcher available, which should do the job. It's in the filebase, but you need to be registered user to download. Mik 1. A320 home cockpit (FSLabs, Skalarki), P3Dv5 Main PC : I7-12700K, GTX3080Ti 2. FSLabs A3xx, P3Dv5.

April 18, 20215 yr I think the difference with this is that it uses the scenery library rather than autogen which means it will extend into the distance. I bought it and will provide an update. Reviews seem positive.
April 18, 20215 yr Just tried it out. Fantastic add-on for P3D. Everything works exceptionally well and is very polished. Improves the entire world at night without costing a stupid amount of $. Can recommend highly.
April 18, 20215 yr I don't quite understand what this does. It adds lights to autogen and roads? But doesn't ORBX night lighting and ORBX Vector basically provide something similar? What would this add if I already have ORBX Base and Vector installed?

I'm wondering how they work together as I can't figure out how to shut off the Orbx 3D lights. The program the guy mentioned above is no longer on that website. With both Orbx's 3D lights and this one, it will look way over done. Edited April 18, 20215 yr by B777ER Eric

You can turn off the ORBX lights by looking in your ORBX region folders for files that contain the word 'OBG' (e.g. !FTX_AUv2_PR_LM_qmid7_8844_OBG.BGL) and renaming the .bgl part of the file to .off. Might want to do this as a batch command to make it faster.

Are the global 3D lights named in a way to allow them to be easily found? Eric

Even i don't like the guy we are not allowed to mention because of his attitude but the product is great, nevertheless that it has quite some impact on fps... I bought the one mentioned above and have to say that it is better than the ORBX ones but still miles away from the forbidden.. So nothing i will keep installed..
