External Lighting

Testing after dark in the new v5 Bo. Talk about see and be seen. Somewhat overdone I think?

Hello,

what happens when you click OK to load in the new time. I see you are just viewing in the preview mode which wont reload the sim into the correct lighting until you click ok.

thanks,
Lewis

Here is the scene without preview. It's a little better but still bright, or maybe it's meant to be like this. Looks OK in the air so maybe it is right.

[Lewis - A2A]

Yes that looks better, given the limitations for lights we have.

cheers,
Lewis

I take it you are using the “Dynamic lights” in the A2A configurator for that plane?

I am not using those lights, and I don’t have that same glow on the ground. I do if I use them though. So I chose not to use them. It looks a lot better.

My guess is that there is a setting in P3Dv5 that shouldn’t be used, but I can’t find it.

Guys,

We'll put out a little update for the P3Dv5 Bonanza soon to fix the overly powerful lighting effects on PBR runway and taxiway surfaces.

Thanks,
Nick

Thanks Nick. At the moment it feels like we're back in a 1970's disco with the rotating beacon and red and green wing tip lights.

Hi Ian,

We've just released an update for the Bonanza to fix this issue, along with the CTDs in rainy weather. Full update topic here.

Thanks,
Nick

[Tigerclaw]

All fixed, thank you very much.

[ianfisher 101]

Thanks Nick

Confirmed all good for me now. Both issues sorted.

Thanks for confirming chaps and hope you can enjoy night ground ops in the Bonanza now without looking like the Blues Brothers.
