captainamerican Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Do you all have Sky Maxx Pro installed? Please elaborate what plugins you have too, i.e any texture enhancements etc.Lets try to narrow it downI do not have skymaxx pro installed at the moment, and do not have maxx xp or anything. I Have flywithlua, xsquakbox, Aerosoft white lights, shaders, sky tools, moon, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainamerican Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Set it to far (second highest) Not sure if this would help though.I will try Heathrow to see if I can reproduce this PS.. The first two pictures does not loadI have tried setting it to far before, and I'm sorry that first two won't load, basically they show how the lights don't show up until i progress further down the runway during takeoff.

Tom Knudsen Posted April 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Ok here is some thing to consider 1. Start removing one plugin after another untill you are left with just Sky Maxx Pro and Fly With Lua- This will eliminate any plugin interference/bugs My plugin folder looks like this 2. I use version 1.3 of Sky Max Pro (not any of the later updates)- That may not affect it, but it very well could (as I do not know) 3. Try to remember, did you use any other texture enhancements? 4. Check and see if you use Real Terra Haze with the light script (they do not work togeather) 5. If everything checks ok, remove the Light Script then the Releigh Scripts and see if runway lights reverst back to normal. It is hard for me to investigate what may cause this as it does not happen on my side. It could be graphics card, it could be drivers, it could be render settings it could be textures.The only way to remedy this is to investigate and search.. Last but at least.. An update for the black/white missing blinking textures which was reported, this has nothing to do with the script, but most likely resides somewhere else as reported Regarding the "black bug lights" has nothing to do with the light.tweak. I made several tests and noticed that the error may be in the scene or in the LPMA/ff_library libraries / ff_library_extended_LOD. I feel sad to hear that :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfram44 Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 I had the above mentioned problem again with Washington Dulles airport with the sequentially appearing runway as I flew over. I deleted the airport terminal building scenery and runway appeared again. Checked the scenery I had used and it was: Baltimore/Washington D.C. area Scenery Packagefor X-Plane 8.06by Ted DavisTheoSDavis@aol.com Readme file indicates it was written for Xplane 8.06 so maybe that is the problem. Also then installed airport scenery for Reagan Intl and had no problem there either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainamerican Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) I'll start removing plugins one by one and playing with render settings. I do not use real terra haze anymore however this issue did not exist with it. This occurred only after I installed Aerosofts textures with the light tweak. I use two scripts at the moment , the light_tweak and the art script at the beginning of this thread. Perhaps this is caused by the interaction between those two scripts? Either way ill boot up X-Plane now and play around with this and see what happens. Edited April 26, 2014 by captainamerican Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainamerican Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Okay, the issue is fixed for me I have deleted the "art.lua" (The script in the beginning of the thread) and placed it with Raleigh Lua scripts. They both work flawlessly. Unfortunately, the end of one problem is the birth of another. The aircraft land and/or taxi lights do not light up the surface of the runway or airport. When i first load up runway or ramp, the surface in front of me is lit for about a second and switches off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3saul Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) I don't have the 'art.lua' script but still have this issue. I've come across another issue when flying during the day. Police cars with flashing lights don't look quite right (huge lights that can be seen in the distance). See the big blob in the pic below. There are other cars there but you can't seem unless you zoom in. The pic doesn't do it justice but if you try for yourself you'll see what I mean.

Hi John, sorry to hijack this thread a bit, but is there a list of known issues for SMP posted anywhere? I've been having this problem with the police car lights and its been driving me nuts, but never thought SMP was the issue....i will diable it to confirm.

JohnMAXX Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Not really any list, its only in HDR and we are aware of the problem....... Currently we haven't found a solution and to be honest I am puzzled as to why it only a problem with that style of light...... As I am typing I wonder if it would be possible to edit the png associated with the police car lights.........Give me some time to look into this......

If I'm not mistaken John was talking about the police car lights. The issue with the lights disappearing appears to have nothing to do with SMP.

SPAS Posted April 28, 2014 Report Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Tom, Just seen the topic and can't wait to try out your scripts. If you want to have a look a what real terra haze ha become in v2b head over to x plane Italia and download it from there. There are still some issues I'm ironing out... Although I had no idea about issues with the lights (that's one part I look at very little) The thread with the links is here. Sorry for any typos but I am on my tablet now... http://www.x-plane.it/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=23353 Edited April 28, 2014 by SPAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainamerican Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 My solution was to set world render distance to medium or higher, and delete any other scripts you have in flywithlua besides Raleigh tweak and light tweak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffy Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I have been able to reproduce an oddity. I can start X-Plane at KJFK and the runway and road lights are all visible from distances and appear correct. If I then switch to a different airport, via the menu bar "Select Global Airport" option, the runway lights and road lights display the problem in which they are only visible at close range. I am not at my computer at the moment but when I do have an opportunity I will upload my X-Plane log file and also list out the few plug-in packages I have installed.

Never use more than one script in the script folder if you are not 100% sure that the same code is not listed in each .lua file I would recommend settings atleast high I have been able to reproduce an oddity.

Tom Knudsen Posted May 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Good news, well it can be dabated.. However, I finally could reproduce the light bug and are now fully working to remedy this bug forever.. Stay tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
