January 11, 20224 yr Since installing 5.3 HF1+ I have a weird lighting issue. If move or pan around, the lights appear to just go off. Please take a look at the following screenshots: Taxiing at DD JFK lights are on:https://imgur.com/271n2db Just pan a bit on view and lights are off on terminal:https://imgur.com/BnkS3yR Parked at terminla all lights on:https://imgur.com/qiCkxiO Pan a little down and all lights go off:https://imgur.com/8sYASgn Can anyone help with this?

January 12, 20224 yr That‘s a problem with older sceneries (pre-v5) and their dynamic lighting. One solution is to set the values for max. point lights and max (can‘t remember the other name, but right below it) lights in the prepar3d.cfg to „1000“ each. This however will also tank the performance with dynamic lights, so you don‘t want to use anything higher than SSAAx2 at night. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.
January 15, 20224 yr Author I'm sorry, but that's not the issue. Look here at FlyTampa KBOS. I pan either outside or within the cockpit and the lights flash on and off. It's incredibly frustrating.

January 16, 20224 yr are you using custom inibuilds dl profiles? If you are maybe go back to supplied DL with the addons and see if it makes a difference. If you are using the DL that installed with the addons you may have to go ask the FT or DD guys in their forums. I definitely agree that something is not right.

January 16, 20224 yr Author This has only happened since installing the latest patch. I'd never noticed it before. I've also noticed it happening at SimWings EGLL too. I don't have inibuilds profiles added. I can't believe it's a problem with all three seperate developers...?

January 16, 20224 yr Check at daylight, if all textures are always present when you look around. Maybe if textures go off and on, it has an effect on the lights. I have sceneries, textures go on and off all the time even though I have enough VRAM. It seems something new in 5.3HF+, at least I didn´t notice that much in 5.2. OS=WIN11 Home, Sim=P3D5 5.3 (P3D4 and FSX for install reasons) Addons=ORBX, ASCA, AS, TOGA and tons of sceneries, aircraft MB=Gigabyte AORUS Z790 Elite AX, CPU=i13900K, Cooling=Be quiet!

January 16, 20224 yr Author Just checked at Flightbeam KPHX and I get lights as seen here:https://imgur.com/K9f6gTR But then I pan slightly with the camera and this happens:https://imgur.com/ZOnXRYW This has only started since installing 5.3HF+ It's clearly not a developer issue but a wider P3D issue. Can anyone help? AMD Ryzen™ 9 9900X3D, AM5, Zen 5, 12 Core, 24 Threads, 4.4GHz, 5.5GHz Turbo 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 6000MHz Corsair Vengeance 32GB GeForce® RTX 5090 Graphics Card
January 17, 20224 yr Wish I could. I am not having this issue anywhere that you are seeing and have the same addons you have referenced so far. When I get home from work maybe i can share my settings with you to try if you like?

January 17, 20224 yr Author Looking straight out the flight deck. No light and no rain...https://imgur.com/Z2WBa3d Pan to the left, lights suddenly appear as does the rain...https://imgur.com/Xj77ojc If anyone has any idea, would really appreciate it as it's completely ruining any immersion in the sim.

January 18, 20224 yr Author Unfortunately altering settings didn't work. Taxiing out of KBOS this morning every single light appeared to go out...https://imgur.com/0GPoijmhttps://imgur.com/cqCBlQk Would a complete reinstall of content, scenery, client have any effect?

January 18, 20224 yr Unfortunately I am not expert enough to really say if that could work or not. Maybe next step is to try one of the developer support forums for FT or FB and see what they think? Mir has a pretty good support board over on FB so maybe try there. That is probably what I would try if I were in your shoes. system i9 10850K NVidia RTX3090 24GB Samsung SSD980 m.2 1TB (x2) Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD Seagate 2TB external drive Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB SSD Asus B460M-PLUS Mobo 32GB GSkill DDR4 3000mhz Ram using P3D v5.3
