Fangtooth 84 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I like the new Madeira scenery but there's a problem with the PAPI lights. They aren't visible during the approach. They are only visible when zoomed in or being very close to them. Somehting is off with the scaling of the lights. I'm using FSX SP2, DX10 with Steve's DX10 Scenery Fixer PAPI during approach not visible. (Please ignore the instruments....it's a replay ;-) ) Please login to display this image. Now on zoom level 1.5 they are barely visible Please login to display this image. And on zoom level 8 they are fully visible but somewhat dim as is the rest of the airport lighting Please login to display this image. The same problem applies for daylight. It's even worse then because there's no contrast between the lights and the airport background. Marcel Kade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan bradtke 10 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 Yes it is the same result even with only FSX. I do not use DX10 Fixer and it looks the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer MK-Studios 234 Posted March 8, 2017 Developer Share Posted March 8, 2017 In P3D we used standard papi lights that have great visibility. Unfortunately it's not possible in FSX in this scenery so we had to place custom ones there. I've got an idea for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fangtooth 84 Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Just asking, could you provide the corrected PAPI light file as a quick fix before it's added to the main update? I'm sure it takes a while before the "big" update is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer MK-Studios 234 Posted March 9, 2017 Developer Share Posted March 9, 2017 Can do, copy and overwrite to this folder: C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\SimObjects\MKSTUDIOS_MADEIRAfsx Visibility is slightly better, I'm still looking for alternative solution for this. papi.rar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Developer MK-Studios 234 Posted March 9, 2017 Developer Share Posted March 9, 2017 Here's how it looks on my pc. I assume it may be DX10 vs SODE related issue. Could you check this without DX10 preview mode? Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fangtooth 84 Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 Deactivated DX10 but still no PAPIs Please login to display this image. Then I switched back to DX10, added the "new" lights again, ran the Scenery Fixer and the PAPIs are back BUT I suspect the separation planes are wrong. Sometimes the PAPIs stay red or white eventhough you're moving through the correct glide path. Here's a short video I made showing the problem: papi_mkmadeira.mp4 The overall visibility is way better with the new files though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
