Zinertek aircraft realistic lights (Marketplace)

Hello,

I am curious about the addon.

Could anyone who use it, give some feedback?

Greetings

Hello there!

Your topic has been moved to the Tools & Utilities subcategory of General Discussion & Community Support. The General Discussion category is meant for discussions that fall outside our other sub-categories.

  • Aviate, Navigate, Communicate
    is where you ask for help with flying.
  • Tech Talk
    is where you discuss installation, graphics, drivers, performance, CTDs, peripherals, and hardware.
  • Menus & Activities
    is where you discuss activities (landing challenges, bush trips, etc), plus anything accessed by the menus including the Marketplace, settings, logbook, cameras, etc.

The lights are certainly an improvement to the default. Reasonable priced. Zinertek has been around a long time & I’ve found them to be very reliable over many years now. Had a few of their products in FSX.
The landing light are still not great, but they are better. This is probably a sim limitation however. It does not correct missing or incorrect lights ( think strobe patterns on commercial ac ).

There is a free mod available also & on par with Zinertek. Perhaps slightly better landing lights, Uwa’s Light Mod seems to extend the range a little father, but I haven’t done a real test. Highly recommend Uwa’s lights btw. They are updated regularly but may not cover as many ac as Zinertek.

Hello, I did not buy this mod because I also made a mod of improvement for a long time ( Newlight ) which proposes the improvement of the external lighting Asobo and other model with different textures and also corrects certain orientations, inclinations, different flashing of the strobe according to the models, various tints …

Any idea how this new addon compares to New Light ( enhancement taxi, landing light and other extrior light ) for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS ? The latter is currently my favorite by far.

The recent update made it worse, they are very bright, even during the day the ground is white, see image.

I think the best thing to do would be to adjust the brightness of the lights based on the time of day. IRL headlights dont visibly illuminate ground at all in direct sunlight. but in MSFS if you make the light dim enough to not do that, they’re not bright enough at night.

I did not find any official channel to leave a feedback so doing it here.
After googling, searching, modifying files and restarting the sim i finally found that this bloody zinertek aircraft light addon was the only reason of my CJ4 taxi and landing lights bleeding into the cockpit ! shame on you guys. Buyin your products we want to get default planes better, not worse!
