Cockpit light/night texture problems 1.12

[Captain R]

Yes 1.12 running on XP SP2. No other issues in the great sim just lately when running at night in all planes I get this issue when turning lights on:

 

 

 

Any ideas about this? When I turn off the cockpit illumination this goes away.

Ok I deleted and reinstalled. Everything seems to be fine now.

I got a similar problem years ago when I tried to install a "night cockpit mod" and left the "install in CDDS" option on. Installing the mod without that option (aka directly in the temp textures folder) solved the problem. Apparently the new textures where not the size or the type the engine expected to be in the CDDS archive.

Captain R, looking at your screenshots they seem stretched to me. you may want to change some settings.

Step 1) Set your native screen resolution in Lockon GUI Options

 

Step 2) in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\graphics.cfg change the following values from 1.333333 to 1.6 (see below)...then save

 

DisplayMode

{

resolution = {1680, 1050};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.6;

Interface

{

resolution = {1680, 1050};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.6;

}

Simulation

{

resolution = {1680, 1050};

bpp = 32;

fullscreen = 1;

aspect = 1.6;

}

AVI

{

resolution = {640, 480};

fullscreen = 0;

aspect = 1.3333;

}

 

Step 3) in C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\Config\View\view.lua mimic the following values... then save

 

-- Camera view angle limits {view angle min, view angle max}.

CameraViewAngleLimits = {}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_27] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_33] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_25] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iSu_39] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iMiG_29K] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iA_10] = {20.0, 145.0}

CameraViewAngleLimits[PlaneIndex.iF_15] = {20.0, 145.0}

 

If you get a white line on the runway when zoomed out you may want to try this too

 

Open Graphics.cfg and use:

 

near_clip = 0.2;

middle_clip = 2;

 

If you already have done this please disregard my stupidity.

Hey there thanks for the information Retro. I am currently running at 1280 x 768 on my 50" 3LCD HDTV so these will be very handy!
