P3DV5.3 Aircraft (AI) navigation lights are surrounded by a square and other problems

Post by Springbok77w »

Just installed the above as per instructions. I have noticed that when viewed from a distance[/u][/u] the lighting on AI aircraft in particular, have a square around the light. This is with EA selected off with Active Sky / AS cloud art and Envtex and Envshade installed (updated versions)

Also previously i.e with 5.2 the distant horizon had a haze layer which hid the horizon. 5.3 seems to have a very unrealistic unlimited visibility with no case when flying at high level.

Is this a problem with the above add ons or 5.3?

Fantastic sim and am very grateful for the continued updates.

@ Springbok77w ,

Are you seeing the square box on the NAV lights of default or payware AI aircraft?
Do any default aircraft show the problem?

Naytime and nighttime ?
On the ground and in flight?

Hi There,

On further research its default F35 (not checked others) and AI aircraft, but only when viewed from a distance. Up close the lights are fine.

@ Springbok77w ,

Would it be possible for you to get a screenshot of the default F-35 problem?

If needed, how to post screenshots:

Just to verify:
Naytime and nighttime ?
On the ground and in flight?

Hi there,

After the Envetex/ Envshade patch the problem seems to be fixed, at least as far as the Nav light issue is concerned. Thanks anyway.

@ Springbok77w ,

Glad to hear you resolved your problem with the nav lights.

I am still looking out for any problems you mentioned on my test flights.

Note:
I have Active Sky (beta) but I do not use AS cloud art, Envtex, or Envshade.
