I don't agree Rich. I'm not sure how you have your lights set but I think the street glow under the lights make a world of difference. I have mine set at 3d with spotlight.

I only use DX10 and have no problems with the lights and they are running smooth. Could be your settings or machine. I run 3570K with 660 and have no problems. One thing I did noticed when I installed was that I had the new lights and the old lights of UTX (intersections) even though I had uninstalled version 1. I went to the scenery library and was able to disable the original UTX lights. Make sure there are no red intersection lights. Just a guess.

Just as a clarification, you must uninstall all of version 1 prior to installing version 2

No, I am not using global lights. I've used them in the past so I know what they look like. I like these lights better with the spotlight under them. From their FAQ it supposed to work well with global. Mind you, I'm not saying global LIGHTS because I don't know that for sure. If you were using these lights there really wouldn't be a need for global lights because you can have all the lights you need with UTX. I also found that the roadways are taken from TomTom data. I just tried it and found my home area pretty easily following known roadways. I took some screenshots to show but can't figure out how to put them in the message. You can go to the Flight1 website and look at their night photos. Pretty impressive, IMHO.

I downloaded and used it sparingly but from I've seen, I like it. The light system appears to be like Global except you have much more control over coloring, size, etc. Also lights along the roads produce illuminated spots under them that make them very realistic. I can only speak for my machine, but I have not noticed any performance problems or lag with the lights. Spacing between the lights can also be adjusted if they need to be to help with slower machines. I've only flown in San Diego and Philly area but that's what I've seen so far. Very nice.

Topic says it all. Flight1 has it.

Which would be better for FSX, Intel 3570K running at 4.4 Ghz or an Intel 4790K running at stock 4.0 Ghz? These would be married with an Nvidia 660 card.

I'm trying out ASN. When I start it, the program tells me there are updates and then directs me to HiFi's page to download the update for FSX. Each time I download the update, the program then expires my trial key, even though I have 7 days left. Has anyone been successful in updating the trial download or should I just leave it alone. I'm experiencing some choppy lag during heavy clouds (go figure) and was trying to see if the update improved that situation before I buy. By the way, I've contacted HiFi and got a new key but haven't received an answer about the update.

I think the couatl engine is what is causing stutters, usually at high graphics area. Try removing the fsdreamteam airport and couatl engine and see what you get. You can always reinstall it if that isn't the culprit.

yes, Steve's v.2 fixes the black lights at Zurich. I'm not sure of the other one.

Ok...thanks Lars

OK, here's where I'm at now. I hadn't used FTXG lights because they were too big when I use bloom. Now that you can adjust them through your DX10 fixer, I've got the FTXG lights looking pretty good and, of course, they don't blink on and off. Would adding a ballast light to an airplane have an effect on the scenery lights?

Yes, the button is enabled. It says "disable".

Steve, I'm still having issues with the street lights going on and off. I'm not sure if it's just my setup or the area I'm flying in. I haven't noticed it in other areas. I'm using FTX Global with UTX lights ( I prefer them) and the DX10 fixer, of course. I fly from KPHL to KMDT (short flight) at about 3500 feet and the lights below cut in and out for the majority of the flight. I would appreciate it if you would check it as a possible bug or let me know if there is something I can do about it. Thank You.

Sorry about that. http://www.flightsimstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=2630

Does anyone know how to setup the cabin window view to work with the 737NGX

Very nice. I like number 3.

Here's another.

Can't figure out how to upload a banner. I have a 500 x 125 pixel bmp file but avsim won't allow the upload. Is there something else I need to do?

ulfB, I thought the night lighting for FTX Global was all yellow but I noticed that your picture actually has bluish white lighting mixed in. Is this from the new 1.1 patch as the earlier night pictures always showed just yellow and I didn't see anything in the patch description that they were changing the night light coloring.

Topic says it all.

That's exactly my problem Parping. I'd like to give it a try but it seems there are questions about whether I could get back to my previous setup if it doesn't work out for me. An uninstaller would allow me to "give it a try" with peace of mind.

Thank you very much for the info.
