Never ending runway lights issue solution ?

Featured Replies

Hi everyone.

it’s a fact that P3D original runway lights suck (they float, they pop up, they look ugly…). I wonder why a comercial developer hasn’t come up with something like the amazing AFLT tool yet (http://stuff4fs.com/newpage.asp?JS=True&Folder=AFLT). For those not familiar with it, it injects runway and taxi lights into the sim. Unfortunately the developer stoped updating it due to heath issues … The tool is fantastic, and I can’t help but wonder why hasn’t any developer picked up on this yet, since this is a major issue since the FSX days …

Cheers

Eduardo

Please stop posting opinion as "fact". I haven't had any problems with runway lights at 4k in P3D v5.3. BTW, Airport Design Editor (ADE) does this just fine.

Milviz KBAB scenery uses it. But the MV Installer adds an old version AFLT which can be updated by the version actually available at http://stuff4fs.com/newpage.asp?JS=True&Folder=AFLT.

I only mind, that it's another little program running aside of the sim. It looks somehow like another SODE to me and I wonder, if one could merge it.

That’s nice to know.

But what I mean is that this concept pretty much solves the runway lights bug which a lot of people have been complaining since FSX days … so I wonder why nobody hasn’t come up with a commercial version of AFLT …

There are many freeware addons that had been great commercial addons. But there are also reasons, why they could not commercialize it.

Wow that’s very sad news. I talked to him numerous times, and he was always very kind and eager to help. Last time I spoke to him was in February, and back then I hadn’t known of his heath issues. I sent him an email requesting some support with AFLT and he still provided it … may he rest in peace 😞
