Pilot controlled lighting (PCL) in P3D?

Recommended Posts

A post in one flightsim forum mentioned that this feature is available in P3D:
If available, does anyone know how it is done?

"n P3D, there was a CFG editing that added and changed how soon the night lighting turned on. It could turn this on 30 minutes, say, before sunset, and turn it off 30 minutes after sunrise.

How it works: Pilot-controlled lighting - AOPA

 


Hardware: i7-8700k, GTX 1070-ti, 32GB ram, NVMe/SSD drives with lots of free space.
Software: latest Windows 10 Pro, P3Dv4.5+, FSX Steam, and lots of addons (100+ mostly Orbx stuff).

I don't think that feature is PCL. It defines when the RL is automatically turned on and off, depending on the sunrise and sunset.

[GRAPHICS]

DAY_THRESHOLD=58000

NIGHT_THRESHOLD=10000

 

Day Threshold controls when the lights come on in the evening.  The higher the number, the earlier they come on (you will also lose your lens flare when they come on). 

Night Threshold controls when they turn off in the morning, The higher the number the longer they stay on
