FSReborn Series user-to-user Forum

Hello, I am trying to install it but I am unable to do so, even running as Administrator. The "I accept the terms in the license agreement" is greyed out, thus it is not possible to go further. Kind regards Carl-Otto EDIT: Found out the cause. You have to read through the license agreement, then the radio button is available to select after that. Thank you.

Hi Simbol, Do you have any plans to include the light effects for FAIB B-747-8 and 8F? Just noticed they are not included in your last freeware update. Thanks, Bob

Got it running in p3d 4.1 Looks great. Only downside for me is having to set: Special effects details set to maximum. Special effects distance set to maximum. This brings up the dreaded shoreline waves that I hate and have kept the special effects turned off as I can find no other way to turn those rascal waves off. I'll have to put up with them as your reborn ai lights are too good to pass up, unless you can find a way to turn them off. Thanks, Bob Oh and I'll be buying the pro version when available...

Hi Simbol, Following our meeting in the 'pauses' thread I was drawn yesterday by your signature to your impressive 'AI Lights' product. I know it's early days, as I've only had time to scratch the surface so far, but what I'm seeing promises to make this a great addition to my sim 😀 One question, if I may. Maybe I'm being a bit picky (or even thick?) but I'm wondering if there is a way to turn off the wing strobes while flying the default Raptor in the VC at night? Perhaps this is what is seen in the real world, but I'm finding it a tad distracting and would like to have the option of being able to switch the strobes off. Assigning a keypress to Strobe (toggle o…

This is one of the best add-ons for AI traffic! Strobes cause the same feeling that I experienced watching them at night in the airport. As if someone is waving huge luminous fans. Thank you very much for this. I have one question. Current strobe lights are ideal for medium-sized aircraft (737, 320, Regional Jet, etc.). For GA aircraft it is somewhat intense. Light for large (heavy, with a large wingspan) is not enough light. I suspect that the radius of the effect should be responsible for this. Could you tell me what parameter of the effect needs to be increased, what would the radius of the strobess increase? I want to "light up" my strobes 747, 777, 380, etc. by …

The Faib 767 with winglets has two white nav lights on the tip of each winglet. They disappear with the add on. I will send you two screens tomorrow by email so I can show you what I mean.

Hi, I wanted to install v3.3.0. I had an earlier version. I de-installed that one first. Checked if an entry was still in the addon.xml. No entry was left. When I install v3.3.0 (with admin rights) i cannot accept the license screen. Am I doeing something stupid ?

Hello, thanks for your input, you should be aware that the FAIB effects are just the same as the default effects for PD3 but just using another name, there is nothing special about them, no DL, they use default textures, they are also faulty so the strobes lights will not show over the distance and the navigation lights are very unrealistic as they will overgrown over the distance. AI lights Reborn free edition version 3.3 will correct these problems. Regarding FSP models version 3.3 is not supporting these, @AnkH and me will research if this would be possibly in future versions as the FSP developer is not currently using the SDK specifications from LM, however …

Hi Simbol, I realized that almost all newly released AI traffic models come with their own .fx files for the beacon, strobe and nav lights (FAIB 767 and FSPXAI C-Series to name two...). This makes the whole AI light thingy now a little cumbersome, I renamed your .fx lights accordingly and added them to your AI Lights Reborn addon folder. So far, this works as expected, however I see a tendency that I do not like here. Will your payware product also be able to cope with the fact that more and more AI models use their own .fx files? Thanks for clarification...

Hi, Do I need to reinstall AI Lights Reborn every time I add a new AI aircraft to my library, or does the software only change the effects folder? Cheers, CK

Dear All, As you must be aware now the change log for version 4.1 is now available on the AVSIM forums, I have highlighted below the posible items that could have an impact on the ESP effects engine for the simulator lights and AI behaviour after you patch your simulators: Prepar3D Client Fixed rotation issues with certain lights and effects Fixed shader support for pre-lit materials without textures Fixed issue that prevented light rotation key commands from controlling attached landing lights Fixed several cases where attached effect rotation values would not update correctly Prepar3D Content Removed incompatible AI models Pr…

Hi Simbol First of all, many thanks for your superb product, I'm looking forward to checking out more of the FSReborn range in the future. One question though - When the aircraft push bank and taxi they only have the red beacon on the fuselage and taxi lights on the nose-wheel activated. The position lights and strobe at the end of each wing don't activate until the active runway threshold is reached and the landing light switches on for take-off. Is it supposed to be like that? To be honest i don't recall for sure, but feel that the default lighting and strobe/position lights activated during taxi. I've noticed this with FAIB and TFS aircraft. To clarify…

Simbol, I messed up my install by trying to install your latest version. I went ahead and uninstalled everything and even deleted the folder in documents... After I reinstall to another folder, P3D is not asking me to enable the add on. Can you help ? Note : Im using UTL Thanks, Tony

simbol i am more than looking forward to your efforts on the above ...... for P3DV4 amongst others. will you be "controlling departure / landing runway assignment" in the program or reading the sim's traffic engine in this ..... the later from my observations is different in P3D to FSX. both are "apparently" accounting not only for wind but visibility, a/c weight, runway length, navaids etc. but allow different tailwind values to suit the other scored values. your thoughts ..... I have never seen a "note" from LM or MS as to what the scoring techniques is, just observation and reading of others, particularily at fsdeveloper.com.

Hi Simbol I installed the freeware utility last night and I really like it. The dynamic lighting makes the experience at airports much more immersive. I love it. One thing I did notice. When aircraft are parked up at the gate, the tail strobe flashes (this happened only with 747 models for some reason). I didn't investigate to see whether it which models were being used, but I did notice that to be a specific point of note on 747 tail strobes. Thanks so much again

Enjoying the product! Nice work. I installed original version and manually moved the install to where I wanted with appropriate adjustments to xml. Now that the new version has custom install option: 1) should I put everything back and uninstall and then install new version or 2) just install new version over the modified install? Thanx, Vic

Hello, thanks for the wonderfull light effects. I have found only "Airbus" strobes (double flash). You package have single flash too? Second question, what is the difference between fx_navwhi.fx and fx_navwhih.fx, same question for navred, navredc, navredh, navredm? Many thanks for an answer. Best regards Oliver

Still one open question (without having tried the product yet): does this wonderful tool need some adjustments on the level of the AI planes? Or does this work with all AI models "out of the box" no matter what kind of effects the AI planes use and how their aircraft.cfg is composed? Sorry if I ask something that is absolutely clear or already discussed several times... Regards
