I have been installing a couple of bargain finds lately and this bit of a programme called AFLT starts now every I start P3D. Googling leads me to FSdeveloper and the application has buttons to connect and disconnect. Any idea what this is all about?

Google found this http://stuff4fs.com/newpage.asp?JS=True&Folder=AFLT

On my system, AFLT was part of Milviz Beale scenery. I think it's needed to show the lights in this scenery. If you get the AFLT software from the link above, you can create lights yourself, but it does not start itself with the sim. This is started with an add-on.xml from the scenery it uses it.

I had some problems with it and therefore reinstalled the whole scenery. Now works much better but still, I sometimes have 2 instances of AFLT running, since it does not shut down with the sim.

Ok, I just have to find it and disable it. Thanks.

It resided in main P3D folder, it may well be related with Milviz Beale. Anyway problem solved.

You can also just shut it down after it started but runway lights at Beale at least, will not show then.

Strange and complicated technique.

I think they thought it's the better option, than the default lights. We will probably never know. At least for me as a freeware airport author, I could imagine to add edge lights this way and then I also had to urge people to use AFLT.

My AFLT is not in the sim main directory but here

...\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\AFLT for P3D

The one from Milviz is called AFLT (SimObjects).exe

The add-on.xml is below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on">
  <AddOn.Name>AFLT for P3D</AddOn.Name>

  </AddOn.Component>
</SimBase.Document>

If you have this too and want to disable just rename add-on.xml to add-on.off

Thanks, this I did.
