Option to Disable Dynamic Lighting @ BWI

Post by hp500 » Sun Jan 06, 2019 9:51 pm

Hi Ricardo,

Would it be possible to offer an option to disable Dynamic Lighting in BWI scenery without disabling Dynamic Lighting in P3D like the Miami scenery? I do run higher levels of anti-aliasing with a 1080 graphics card and 6700k i5 but fluidly except at BWI. I've tried deleting shaders and the like, but in all cases I've traced it back to the airports Dynamic Lighting. I would like to leave the global option for DL turned on, as I give preference to my aircraft taxi/landing/flight deck lights over airport level DL.

Would really appreciate if you would consider a configuration option to enable/disable dynamic lighting for BWI and future scenery releases.

Thank you,
Andrew Reynolds

Hi, I understand, we will offer customers that option from now on.

to disable go to p3d/latinvfr/Baltimore_KBWI/scenery and rename TerminalBWI_DYN.BGL to TerminalBWI_DYN.BGX

that's for the airport terminal, the others you might see, they won't be able to be de-activated because they are with a file that includes important objects. but they aren't much really.

Has this option been implemented for KMIA? I find that the performance hit with night lighting enabled is significant. I would prefer standard night textures if available. I can't find an option within the configuration utility.

Congratulation on a great scenery.

Hi, we don't recommend removing the dynamic lights at KMIA, if you wish to do that let us know and tell you which files. We don't recommend because its the only form of lighting at night for the ramps.

KMIAv4 did have that option.

However for KMIAv5 its not available. If you are having issues with performance with Dynamic lights, we suggest you change your MSAA settings to a lower value, this setting is the one that affects performance with DL's.

Hi Ricardo,

Many thanks for your help! I have MSAA set to x4, I disabled it initially with little improvement in performance. Turns out that the texture resolution was the problem. Changed it from 4k to 2k, the performance is back to normal range.
