KMIAv5 runway lights off at night (RESOLVED)

Post by luis969275 » Thu May 14, 2020 7:58 am

Hello,

I need some help with KMIAv5, runway lights are OFF at night time..
taxiway lights work fine,high-speed exit/entry lights to runways are fine.
I've reinstalled SODE several times and still same issue with runway lights.

The scenery works like a charm (congratulations btw), with PMDG 777 Im getting 40-50fps (while on VATSIM).

My specs are Core i7-9700K(@4.57Ghz)., 32GB RAM, EVGA RTX 2060 , Windows 10 Ent-64bit
Prepar3d v4.5.14.34698 Academic lic.
Orbx openLC & NA Mesh Scenery (I've tried the LVFR KMIA scenery w/o Orbx and still same issue with runway lights)
SODE 1.7 (latest)


any help would appreciate it , please...
Thank you

Hi, this only happens if two things are going on:

1- You are doing this with time preview mode, make sure you set the time to NIGHT so you can see the lights.

2- Or you don't have SODE installed, if that's the case you can't see the jetways neither.

Hi Ricardo,

I have reinstalled SODE 1.7 several times. Jetways are showing and working with GSX2 just fine.

I noticed the lights weren't working last night while I was arriving into KMIA on a regular flight and noticed the lights were out couldn't see the runways except for the approach and PAPI lights.

Screenshots, are in real time (Sim rate 1x) SODE is up and running 1.7... you can clearly see taxiway lights but no runway lights.

As you can see lights are not showing ON at night on any runway,
Jetways are working fine, ground reflection (rain puddles textures I selected it off) and ground still shows "wet" when is not raining (Not sure if this has to do with SODE in the scenery)..

Then there seems to be an issue going on with the SODE conditional files to show up.

Did you uninstall SODE for KMIAv4? the way to do this is by uninstalling KMIAv4 completely using the uninstaller. let me know

I never installed KMIAv4 before.
KMIAv5 was working fine until a few days ago. It was last night I noticed something was off with the lights.

I tried KMIAv5 with and without ORBX Global openLC/NA Mesh and would give same result, no runway lights...
My natural guess would be it has to do with SODE new version directly Im going to switch back to previous version see if it works.

Yes, just installed 1.7 and I am getting this issue too. I would recommend you install 1.6.7 until this is resolved.
