As an aside, Tom, would you mind showing a screenshot of your rendering settings from which those screenshots were taken? Thanks.

What a coincedence! I downloaded a new scenery pack last evening, Florida Central from Ted Davis, and noticed the same issue. Runway lights were only visible upon being very close to the touchdown zone. Further out the lights were just not visible. I assumed this was an issue with the scenery pack. I shortly shutdown the simulator and went away from the computer. I hadn't even thought that the runway lighting problem could have been related to Tom's Fly With Lua scripts. I will be interested to read what others have to say about this and to test further with X-Plane when I have an opportunity to.

Results of the new script updates:

Tom, I just made time to download your new scripts. I have a question. Do I install both "raleigh_tweak1.lua" and "raleigh_tweak2.lua" at the same time or do I choose one or the other? The "readme" file isn't clear about that, to me anyway: "5. Copy the included file (releigh_tweak1.lua) to /Resource/plugin/FlywithLua/Script6. [Optinal] Copy the included file (releigh_tweak2.lua) to /Resource/plugin/FlywithLua/Script//Fixes the glare at night issue"Thanks!

Tom, Is this the definitive source to updates to these scripts? Like luckyluca I receive an error message upon X-Plane startup with these scripts in place and then shortly thereafter I get the "Lua stopped" error message in the right top corner. This is a screenshot of the error upon launch: You mentioned to luckyluca to remove a line from the 'light' script file. Should I be doing this also even though I downloaded the script files from your "amended scripts" link that you provided (above)? Will there be an updated upload to the xp-developer site that I should download instead? Thank you very much. Puffy

Experimenting with rendering settings and FlyWithLua scripts:

Tom, Thanks, that is a good enough answer! Since you aren't aware of "Real Terra Haze for FlyWithLua 1.1" I will make the assumption that the scripts you have been posting here aren't dependent upon that package. Once again thank you.

How do these scripts compare against the "Real Terra Haze for FlyWithLua 1.1" package that is available on the ".org" site? Would I want to run these scripts and "Real Terra Haze for FlyWithLua 1.1" at the same time or are they mutually exclusive? Thank you.

With the advent of the change to how supersonic flight is calculated beginning with X-Plane 10.10 Beta 9 are there any supersonic aircraft that still perform properly in the current release, 10.25? If so which ones? Thank you.

For those of you complaining about add-ons that are now free, for which you once paid, think of the enjoyment that they gave you in the meantime. You surely didn't make your purchase as an investment. Unlike a car which may become a valuable classic software always ages and becomes outdated. You bought the product for entertainment not as a way to make a profit in the future.

@tomcat357: Which / what ground textures are you using? The ground in your shots look great.

Precisely. I replaced my GTX 480 video card with a GTX760 4GB version. I increased some of my rendering settings and now like the OP I get this hard line focus and blur issue when at altitude. I tweaked around with my rendering settings, etc., but then realized this is the result of more powerful graphics hardware allowing me to run at higher simulator settings and a programming limit in the software.

I am flying the excellent Piaggio P180 Avanti II by Airfighter. His thread is here: http://forums.x-pilot.com/topic/4475-general-aviation-piaggio-p180-avanti-ii-upgrade/?p=46073 The download is here: http://forums.x-pilot.com/files/file/347-piaggio-p180-avanti-ii-upgrade/ I flew KAPA to KMMH (Mammoth Lakes California.) I had just taken a ski trip out there and was interested in flying into KMMH (I drove from southern California so I didn't get the pleasure of enjoying the airport in the real world.)

Airfighter, thank you, your advice worked. Having the condition levers full forward allowed me to engage the reverse thrust. It seems that after touchdown I was reducing condition levers thus not allowing reverse thrust to engage.

I am having difficulties activating the reverse thrust. Pressing the "shift /" does not seem to engage it as the "REV" does not illuminate in the engine instrument panel. Should I try to post a log file or check a configuration file some where? Thanks.

I understand the OP's original frustration and it sounds like many of us have had less than pleasant experiences with the forum moderators over "there." I hope we can all keep this thread professional enough to cry our cries but toe the line on calling out individual people.

I made a donation to the ".org" to help cover the costs of running the site. I didn't even receive a courtesy email thanking me for the support. I was expecting a little bit more from them about it. I've also found my "warning" level go up on occasion without ever getting a message about why. Since the new year I've been trying to focus my attention to this site and a few other x-plane related ones leaving my visits to the ".org" as a last resort.

I think this is it:

Very nice. Thank you for sharing this. Which scenery is this?
