Rudel_chw Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I reached out to Upuaut, but no reply yet. OK, but we have to keep in mind that a Modder's work is completely voluntary and he could have developed the Mod some years ago but today he may not have the free time needed to do these fixes, or he could have lost the original files, or he could have abandoned the DCS hobby ... ... let's hope that is not the case, but his profile shows that he hasnt connected to the Forum on the last couple of months, so it could be a while before he responds :( Best regards .

SUNTSAG Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Thank you Voc this is awesome :holiday: A request (i'm no modder so have no idea what i'm talking about ) would it be a lot of work having the lights come on/off as the default once? Oh, you are right ... I hadn't tested it at night, it must be another effect of DCS 2.5.5 .. the lights work on 2.5.4; but dont illuminate on the new version :( When we went from DCS 1.5 to 2.0 the light on this Mod changed and now were less bright than on 1.5 ... but they were still useable. Now, up to 2.5.4 the light work, but on 2.5.5 they dont illuminate at all ... I hope that it can be fixed, but I've no idea what may be causing this :( . The lights do work in the latest OB, please see below: Callsign: NAKED My YouTube Channel [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudel_chw Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) It is a shame ! I really want those LIGHTNING TOWERS to work again. Me too .. I refuse to do night missions using airbases that are completely black, it's just not enjoyable. I tried Joe Rowe's lights, from his Civil Objects Mod, and while they look good and illuminate a lot, they do have two faults: 1) They are on all the time ... this is not so critical, as on daylight they are not very noticeable. 2) If I put more than 2 or 3 my fps take around a 25% hit, making them unusable for me. :( Best wishes, Eduardo Edited June 27, 2019 by Rudel_chw For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex81 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 So we perhaps should start crowdfunding ! Money for the modder who gives DCS the nightlights it needs.

SUNTSAG Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hi All, Perhaps the solution is far more simple than it appears. Perhaps you are placing the objects as "STATICS" instead of actual "FORTIFICATIONS" as that will result in NO illumination. Cheers. 1 Callsign: NAKED My YouTube Channel [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot for the tip .. will try it tonight and then report back here ... however, under the old 2.5.4 version of DCS the lighting did work even if the object was placed as static, so it must be another thing that changed on 2.5.5 .. perhaps the new version doesnt allow animation on static objects? Edit: Yes, thanks a lot for the advise :) it works that way. I will have to update all my templates :( but at least my airbases will be illuminated ... cheers! :D Edited June 27, 2019 by Rudel_chw For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex81 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I tried several VP mods (whatever produces light) and placed them as Fortification. It works for me, but I realized that the intensity is lower then it used to be. But anyhow, it looks as if the lights are back.

Rudel_chw Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 ... I realized that the intensity is lower then it used to be. That problem started when DCS updated to 2.5, so it's been that way for quite some time now ... but I've got used to it and just up the gamma control a bit when I fly at night.
