Hello,

as per topic, on Billund scenery aircraft are not illuminated by airport lights, see spoiler below.

Such problem is not present in other sceneries, i.e. JustSim EVRA, EDDC, FlyDesign EPKK:

Is this "normal", or is there some fix?

Otherwise, a very good scenery. Enjoying it and EKRN quite a lot.

Hi,

I have not noticed this before. I am not sure what the problem is. It is not related to dynamic lightning as Billund dosen't use dynamic lightning. This must be some other P3D specific lightning effect issue. In FSX things looks normal. I will look into this and hopefully come up with a solution soon. FSX:

Hi John,
Understood. Looking forward hearing from you on how it can be fixed. Hopefully there will be a solution.
Just in case, I see I forgot to mention, I'm on P3D v4.3. But I see you have figured out which sim it is on your own :)

Any news on this topic? That`s a screenshot taken with version 1.3 in P3D v4.4.
AI aircraft and user aircraft are still pitch black even though they are sitting right below a light pole.

Hi

The issue discussed in this thread is not related to dynamic lights.

However, I can confirm that the dynamic lighs in Billund X is not working because two effect files are missing.

Please download the effects here (attached) and copy them to your Effects folder located inside your main Prepar 3D folder.
