V5 Dynamic Light Issue

[micstatic]

I've noticed that some sceneries are not properly working with Dynamic Lighting. Specifically with PBR aircraft and only in V5. According to the LM forum, this is because developers need to change the way they make the effects for DL since changes were made from V4 to V5. See below.

Are you able to fix the effects? Interesting enough. Toronto works fine, but Boston and Montreal don't.

i also just tried running the PBR dynamic lighting patch listed in the forum here in the V5 compatibility section and tried montreal. Still not working. Open to ideas.

Can you post a link to the patch? I can't find it anywhere, and I'd like to see if that helps on my system at least. Thanks!

Hi Tony,

I believe micstatic is referring to the latest version of the FT Libraries posted in the V5 compatibility section (viewtopic.php?f=1&t=13842). It has a comment that it contains Updated Dynamic Light FX for PBR.

I also have exactly the same issues in a massive amount of addon sceneries (not only FT but other big names) where the dynamic lighting in v5 does not illuminate PBR simobjects. A lot of developers acknowledged the issue and have fixed/promised to fix on their end. The latest FT libraries did not fix it for me as well.

I have iniBuilds DL patches installed for CYUL/CYYZ and all of the FT sceneries which do not have native DL which all work perfectly (actually iniBuilds had the same issue and acknowledged it very quickly and fixed their effects libraries within 24h of my request for support), but original KBOS, LGKR etc still have pitch black PBR simobjects (user aircraft and AI) with DL.

Let's hope it will be fixed soon as it really takes away from the beauty of FT sceneries at night.

Kind regards,
Vladimir

Thanks for that info. I tried the new libraries. It's not fixed on my system either. Hopefully it won't take to long to get it all worked out. I will be monitoring this thread for updates.

thanks man

It should be fixed now if you just download it again via the universal installer.

Thanks George. Confirming Boston worked. Montreal however didn't work. Is that one still not done yet?

[george[flytampa]]

Montreal will be done soon.
