Aviation and Flight Sim Video Forum

Hi Everybody, With my street lighting all but done, I wanted to take a look at airport lighting. All the airports seem to be overpowered by lights, so I made some adjustments. Was going to try and get this out tomorrow, but I noticed a couple of issues that need attention, I'll be working on that in the morning.

Join me in a DC-3 to visit Heritage-Listed Felts Field in Washington State, USA. What a beaut old airfield with still existing heritage buildings & structures! See some surrounding sights as well. And have a go at a vintage aircraft & automobile quiz at the end. Sincerely hope you enjoy, because that's the aim. Cheers.

Hi Everybody, Just a night landing in Chicago.

Thanks for looking. Herman

In this real life aviation video, transited over Atlanta and then due south to Thomasville, GA for the 55th annual fly-in. It’s an action packed video with cockpit and ATC audio.

My lights are done, this is version 1.1 and contains a few additional edits. If you installed version 1.0 of my lights you just need to replace your lites.txt file. This video was taken straight from the computer so my camera couldn't alter the look of the video. Sorry for the stutters and no audio, I'm flying XP12 and recording at the same time.

Hi Everybody, My night lighting edits are complete. For those that want to give them a try I've enclosed a temporary download location (you tube) until I can upload these to a web site.

Hi Everybody, I finished my X-Plane 12 night lighting edits. All that's left is to check the dusk/dawn times of day to confirm no ill effects, create installation instructions and zip it up. The camera (this video) makes the lighting look a bit darker than looking at the monitors themselves. The overall effect is far superior to that of X-Plane 12 default. I hope you find this lighting edit useful, it will be available shortly. Thanks for watching!

Hi Everybody, My XP12 night lighting is just about done, just have to finish off the highways... they still need some adjustments. Only items adjusted to get this look are as follows: lites.txt, 1000_lights_close.png and nine urban FAR tiles. I'm not using re-shade or any lua scripts to get these views! Default and my lights side-by-side comparison at the end.

Hi Everybody, Landing at KORD at night, just checking out my night lighting edits. Want to see if any additional changes need to be made. Still needs some work, I'll be back after lunch to continue working on them. Hope you enjoyed the ride.

In this video, set in the "corner" of central Australia where 4 States/Territories meet (Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia & New South Wales), we will land at 3 pubs, Touch & Go at 2 oil/gas fields, & overfly 5 homesteads/stations. We will also overfly one of the many Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) emergency road airstrips. Come join me in the popular 1935-1950s military pilot trainer, the North American SNJ-4, also known as the AT-6 Texan & the Harvard, used by over 40 countries. I hope you enjoy the trip. Cheers.

Hi Everybody, Work continues on X-Plane 12 night lighting edits.

Hi Everybody, I started work on my night lighting edit for X-Plane 12. As of right now, it's just a copy over from my XP11 re-shade night lighting edit, but I have a starting point. This is what they looked like in XP11: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLXXV... The new lighting in XP12 gives the look of reshade, without using reshade. I get to save some FPS there! I will more than likely release these edits after XP12 beta has run its course.
