taxiway lights are weak

Post by Sinekura »

Dear colleagues,

May be someone can suggest - we use P3D v5. During the night approach LOWI airport RWY lights are weak. I would like to increase the visibility of taxiway lights - they shall be seen from 2000miles, but now I barely can see them from 4 times less distance. - Is there a possibility to increase brightness of taxiway blue lights?

Also it would be a blessing to be able to adjust the intensity of Runway lights,is there such a possibility or may be workaround - inconvenient ones also will be ok for me.

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

What version of Prepar3D are you using? In 5.2 we increased the intensity of airport lighting at night as well as low visibility conditions.

You are totally right - sorry for mistake. No taxiways during the night from the distance of 2000 feets.
Please - any ideas how to make them visible without addons?
