April 18, 20215 yr On my end following the install instructions, I don't see any changes on P3D v5.1. Also when I try to select the configurator menu and change anything there is no save option. Under options changing textures to any setting will not ask to save or anything else to verify the change. Any help is appreciated.

April 19, 20215 yr To follow up on my post, the issue was related to WIN10 permissions and for that reason, it did not load into the scenery library and I had to load manually each scenery area. After that, you can notice lights and roads extended to a nice LOD without any FPS loss, just about 8 to 16 seconds longer on loading terrain data (on my PC). IMHO it is a very nice addon for P3D and I'm quite happy with this software. What I would like to see is when you do any changes to any settings to have an option of acknowledgment of those changes.

April 19, 20215 yr How does it work? Does it change/delete other textures? Does it modify effect files.Is it simply removable if other updates are coming? Is it added via add-on.xml method? - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).

Is it added via add-on.xml method? Yes is added via add-on.xml. There are only 2 textures .dds files and many .BGL files for each region which they get activated when the software is installed. It is very easy to add or remove the software without any problems or modifications. I'm very happy with the software. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.

April 20, 20215 yr I have to say I disagree. I have (not allowes) and extended lights, and the problem with these addons are the fps hit and the fact that they make the world look like a light show cartoon. It is just too much (my opinion). I downloaded the 3d lights living airports and find that the addon does not have any noticeabe fps hit. Further, it does what it says: it extends lights as far as the eye can see, without the normal P3D lights popping in the distance effect. To me the 3d lights addon function as an extension of the Orbx lights - as far as the eye can see. Not perfect, but I prefer this addon over the other one. Literally brilliant in my view. I have no interest in any of the addons whatsoever. Edited April 20, 20215 yr by charliearon Removed product name

Much more realistic with no FPS hit Edited April 20, 20215 yr by charliearon removed quote of product name
