Title: All aircraft on ramp at night black
Post by: robs113 on December 24, 2019, 03:00:03 am
I am an Xplane guy, trying to get P3d to work.

All aircraft on ramp at night black..
Totally black, like black-hole black, my aircraft and ai ones also.

Same problem on FSDT Las Vegas.

I see people on Twitch taxiing at night and you can see their aircraft.
What have I setup wrong?

Ok on FlyTampa YYZ.

I only have 3 payware airports.

Is this 'normal' for P3d???

To see parked aircraft being lit by apron lights ( if this is what you are referring to ), you need the airport to support Dynamic Lighting, and usually only the latest ones which are purposely made for P3D4 have this feature, since it has been only added with P3D4.

Some example of FSDT airports with Dynamic Lights support are:

- O'Hare V2

- Charlotte

- Louisville

I was thinking of purchasing this airport. Can I assume that FSDT CYVR does not have dynamic lighting?

 You can add dynamic lighting VERY easily on your own. It works very well at FSDT YVR and is a free addon.
