Have you tried re-installing via the universal installer? Some recent changes were made to dynamic lights. They might help your problem.
I've not seen this myself, could be a new P3D bug.

Yes I did three times it’s only happening in this scenery and only when I fly from another airport so it’s strange I had this issue in other airports before in 4.5 version and it was down to the dynamic lights files what files should I be looking for please

There’s the effects folder

The empty effects folder is normal.

For the disappearing Dym lights, it might be a light limit you are hitting. Especially with AI.

Open up the Prepar3d.cfg.
%APPDATA%Lockheed MartinPrepar3D v4Prepar3D.cfg

Change 250 to 500 or whatever you want.
MAX_POINT_LIGHTS=250
MAX_SPOT_LIGHTS=250

No that didn’t make a difference I will try somewhere else see if I can find a solution or check the p3d forums or wait until someone reports the issue as I don’t have this issue with my other 80 scenery’s I am using including the other scenery’s I have from you thank you Anyway

I am having the exactly same issue but I don't see any reply by FlyTampa on this ticket that solves the problem. Can we expect a solution?

Best regards
Adrian
