Man I really wish other people noticed this issue. It seems like if you run a resolution greater than 1920x1080, the lights don’t scale properly and the larger your resolution, the larger (relative to the scenery) that the lights get. It is so bad looking, unrealistic, and annoying, that I can not use the sim during night-time weather at all. I really REALLY wish someone would give me a hint of where I can adjust light scaling for the entire sim. I don’t mind poking around in the SDK or anything… but there doesn’t seem to be ANY mod similar to the “light_scalar” method from FSX.
Someone PLEASE help!! How can I reduce the size / brightness of airport / city lights in the game?
I got the same prob with 2560x1440. Already filed a zendesk report.
Interesting, that it only seems to occur on displays larger than 1920. There is one option in the UserCfg.opt called “SecondaryScaling” that I have no clue about. Might test, if changing this to smaller than 1.0 has some effect.
ASOBO This needs a fix ASAP
As mentioned above this also involves all lighting including everything from street lights to distant aircraft lights.
If it is in the too hard basket then unlock the configuration files and some bright spark in the community will fix it for you.
It’s fixed and night flying now looks awesome. Although I have some strange glitches, blinking kind distortion of the approach lights when landing. Anyone else seeing this.
