Rosario Manzo 20 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi I'm really enjoying this aircraft, an immersive simulation, great work! The only issue I have is with the lights, showing a rectangle on ground. This is also noticeable with the beacon light. This is FSX-SE on W10-64. Thanks in advance for any help Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Michael2 236 Posted March 5, 2019 Developer Share Posted March 5, 2019 I can't reproduce this on FSX Acceleration, which is what I have installed. I don't have the steam version. Do you have any shader mods installed or the Direct X 10 mod? Does anyone else using Steam FSX see this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosario Manzo 20 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Hi Michael I have no shader mods, nor DX10, but I've seen right now that reloading the aircraft fixed the issue. Edit: tried to start a new flight, but the issue persists even after reloading the aircraft. I'm at a loss here. Edit 2: disabling AS16 fixed the issue, maybe something with AS16 visual fixes? With AS16 enabled, the issue appeared again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosario Manzo 20 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 I think I've found the culprit (on my system, of course). It is the minimum surface visibility slider in AS16. Here is a shot with the slider set at 0SM: Please login to display this image. here the slider is set at 25SM: Please login to display this image.

Developer Michael2 236 Posted March 6, 2019 Developer Share Posted March 6, 2019 I should have recognized the problem. It's a drawback to these kinds of custom lights. The whole texture turns partially opaque if the visibility is very low. All addons with this kind of lighting do that. In P3D we can now use directional lights that are much easier to make and don't have this issue. If you are landing in fog, it's best not to turn the lights on. Maybe I should inhibit the lights when the visibility reaches a certain threshold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosario Manzo 20 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Thanks Michael I've seen this kind of issue described on FS developer forum. Do you think it may be possible in the future to let the user choose between standard and 3d lights? It's just a suggestion, the aircraft is pure beauty and a joy to fly.
