LIVING AIRPORTS - 3D LIGHTS P3D

Yes, it adds something especially at the distance.

The cmd also did not work for me, added them manually, looks great! Blends well with ORBX.

Here is a before and after, I let you guess which one is which. 😉

Just grabbed it on sale, wasn't sure at first.

I hear the dev will bring an interesting update to it soon 🙂

Found out an interesting fact the other day.

Orbx lights are essentually a "tree" in the form of a "light".

And by increasing the tree LOD, the night lighting LOD also increases.

Move your vegetation slider to the right, I think.

I use these settings

[SCENERY]

//Tree LOD independent of the UI settings - Default 2500.000000 Max 8000.000000, 6500.000000 will match the LOD slider max.
AUTOGEN_TREE_MIN_DISTANCE_TO_LOD=8000.000000
//Max distance allowed 12000.000000 - Default 9500.000000
AUTOGEN_TREE_MAX_DRAW_DISTANCE=12000.00000

Do these tweaks work for living airport 3D lights p3d addon or this is only for ORBX products? 

I would like to increase the 3D light draw distance.. but there is no option within the app.

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. 

DModjo, did you try to turn the ORBX lights Off/On with 3D lights eventually?

Thanks,

Thanks.
