ex81 Posted December 5, 2020 Posted December 5, 2020 I created some missions for the nighttime. But when landing on an airfield, it`s totaly dark (Caucasus). Even the "lights" on the PG map don`t brighten up any object I place. We need working light towers . It looks very strange when my plane is parking under a lighttower on the airfield and it still is not iluminated. Please think about it. What goes up, must come down !

Northstar98 Posted December 6, 2020 Posted December 6, 2020 I think dynamic lighting is something that wasn't done due to performance issues IIRC (don't quote me on that).

ex81 Posted January 13, 2021 Author Posted January 13, 2021 I found out, that in DCS it`s possible that light sources REALLY work. Look at the picture. Why is this not possible on all airports and air fields and everywhere in DCS ? I`d like to know. What goes up, must come down !

Furiz Posted January 13, 2021 Posted January 13, 2021 Yep if you get under the light in a plane it doesn't get illuminated by the light, it just stays in the dark. Would be cool to have that fixed.

But, assuming 2.7 will also come with new weather system (and maybe even new and improved lighting?) I'm afraid in the end it'll still cause more strain on my pc.. But you're right, I won't be upgrading beforehand. If it's not needed I'll have the money available for other goodies But we're diverting from the thread topic System specs: i7-8700K @stock speed - GTX 1080TI @ stock speed - AsRock Extreme4 Z370 - 32GB DDR4 @3GHz- 500GB SSD - 2TB nvme - 650W PSU HP Reverb G1 v2 - Saitek Pro pedals - TM Warthog HOTAS - TM F/A-18 Grip - TM Cougar HOTAS (NN-Dan mod) & (throttle standalone mod) - VIRPIL VPC Rotor TCS Plus with ALPHA-L grip - Pointctrl & aux banks <-- must have for VR users!! - Andre's SimShaker Jetpad - Fully adjustable DIY playseat - VA+VAICOM - Realsimulator FSSB-R3 ~ That nuke might not have been the best of ideas, Sir... the enemy is furious ~ GUMMBAH
