For example: Im doing a night flight right now (almost everything is on high inlcuding reflections.) But the Pos lights dont reflect on the ground and Strobe / Beacon lights dont reflect on the plane itself which should happen as far i think. The brightness of the Taxi Light seem a way little to dim or maybe i just overestimate something there. Thanks. X-Plane controls all lighting and reflections. You are overestimating the power of the taxi lights. 1 Quote
scox72 Posted June 26, 2017 Report Posted June 26, 2017 Will there be an option for clean displays? I would be happy. Surely that's hardly important, let's just get the planned updates to make xp11 first, worry about details.like this later. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk 2 Quote

crisk73 Posted June 27, 2017 Report Posted June 27, 2017 Don't know if it has been already asked. Will old third party liveries benefit from the XP11 new effects or shall they be redone/updated? Thanks. Quote

Nothing major, but for good consistency it's advised. 1 1 Quote

Well, thats not rly true! The lights are configured in the plane settings. The default does it, IXEG not Quote

Thats a fact. I compared them and guess what? There is a difference, also with the reflections, they need to be added to the flight model and not into xplane. Quote

Hi MagicMandi, the position, direction, cone and intensity of the airplane´s exterior lights are controlled in the .acf (aircraft) file - this is correct. We believe that we have the lights "just right" - based on my 25 years (10 of those in 737´s) experience in flying jet airliners. Most of the default aircraft in X-Plane have lights that are too bright. The taxi-light´s purpose is not "see where you go" - it´s more "be seen when you go". You can also spot obstacles on the taxiway, but not out very far. The light is not intended to illuminate the taxiway. The reflections are not part of the flight-model, as they do not influence the way the airplane flies. The cockpit display reflections in XP11 are a new property (as far as I know), so we can not apply them to the XP10 model. We do, however, already have a makeshift reflection in place for the XP10 version. Cheers, Jan 1 Quote

I envy you, but I also realize that it required a lot of work. Thanks for making the 733 a free update for XP 11. Since I've bought this plane a few months after XP 11 was released I really appreciate the gesture. Now where are the screenshots of the NG? Quote
Morten Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) Think we'll have to tune our lights down a bit See at time 4:00... Time 8:50 at 2:20 Edited June 28, 2017 by Morten 4 Quote
