Adjusting Brightness?

[bhorv67]

Thanks so much for creating these. How can I modify a setting to lower the brightness of the lighting around an airport?

Hello bhorv67,

which P3D are you on?
What profile are you talking about?

 

Regards, 

 

Kevin,

[bhorv67]

sorry, v5.1 HF2. I'm using quite a few of the profiles. For instance, at any of the FSDT airports, the night lighting is way too bright for my taste. I'm just looking to bring the overall brightness down on just the night lighting a bit.

Thanks

you have to modify each effect to be able to reduce the brightness, or you may have too much brightness. Can you send a photo please?

Sure attached. Note that I don't use any shader mod software. The lighting brightness is 1.0.

This just seems unusually bright to me.

The above is LVFR / KRSW

Something else I notice is odd, that the text in the green bar is distorted and illegible at night. Possible these issues are related?

ohh ok, sorry, this is an old profile, some effects can be very bright.. I need to upgrade it to V2.

Thanks. Some others I have also appear this bright, especially FSDT airports and other US based.

Yes there are quite a few profiles still in V1 .. We are updating the profiles to V2, but it takes time, sorry

The new version will be available soon,

Hi Kevin,

I just installed my very first inibuild DL package for LFMN, following your instructions.

First of all, thank you for this great service!

However in my case, the scenery (Apron) still looks too dark. DL and HDR is activated.

Would I have to adjust the HDR values within P3D? Or is there a way to change certain parameters in some ini or cfg files?

Thanks,

Michael

Hello Michael,

Can you send me a picture to see what it looks like please?

H Kevin,

 

loading the scenery again, I believe I made something wrong. No lights at all.

On the TopDown pic you only see the roof of the terminal building and the street lights behind the airport.
On the Tower pic, you only see a part of the tail from an aI aircraft.

Michael

have you installed the effects that you find here

?

[michael1508]

Hi Kevin,

yes, I have. Just to be sure:

1) I copied all effects from the downloaded effects library folder into the P3d effect folder > so I added 62 files. There was no overwriting ask and I didn't delete the existing p3d files.

2) I copied the bgl file for LFMN into the LFMN .../scenery folder and renamed the original DL file to "dyn_lgt_LFMN.BGL.orig"

3) P3D.cfg and settings for scenery effects changed according to your manual

 

I also tried with an JustSim EDDL and with Aerosoft LIMC. Never saw a difference to the original (Justsim Airports generally dark / Aerosoft airport has DL on, but unchanged)

I guess, I am missing out something in general. I am using ENVTex/Envshade. Would this matter?

Thanks,

Michael

Do you have the special effects settings on the right ? envtex is not a problem, enshade can but you still got a light .. try without envshade to see if the problem is solved,

That's interesting - with EnvShade being deactivated I now see the Apron being lid up in EDDL at least. LFMN and LIMC still unchanged - dark.

do you have a moment during the day to do a teamviewer? I will take control of your PC to see what happens?

[michael1508]

that would be fantastic. I'll dm you.
