Guest Sascha66 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 (edited) I checked and it's my bad, the bgl was in the old version dropbox but I forgot to upload it for the newest version of EVO when I updated earlier this year! It's now in the lights folder. Sorry for the confusion this caused. I'll be updating the lights in the next couple of weeks, by the way.

lmhariano Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Still nothing. This is what I did: - Deleted the Russian lights BGL - Installed your BGL in the same folder (FS9\Scenery\Generic\Scenery) - Reinstalled the lite autogen (default.xml) and halo.bmp files. I still have TERRAIN_USE_VECTOR_OBJECTS=0 in FS9.cfg. Should I change it to 1? Best regards, Luis Hernández Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornetAircraft Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I have the old version of these textures, but I found them to have an odd tint to them. at night, they looked stunning, but during the day, it seemed a bit fake, especially since I don't use a post processing plugin such as enb series or sweetfx. I currently use ORBX converted textures. is there a way to get the 3D lights without transferring all the textures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have TERRAIN_USE_VECTOR_OBJECTS=0 in FS9.cfg. Should I change it to 1? I have mine set to 0 like yours, but it can't do any harm to try setting it to 1. It sounds as if you installed everything correctly on the light side. Did you try the normal autogen default.xml? Also you must have the .agn files installed in the world/scenery/texture folder, but you'd notice if that wasn't the case because you wouldn't get trees and buildings.

The last couple of versions have colour corrections, but they are indeed intended for use with enb or sweetfx, but then again, all monitors have different colour fidelity, too.

lmhariano Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Well, I re-installed, but I still get nothing :confused: I've ran out of options: standard, hi-res, alternate, everything :( Edited December 20, 2018 by lmhariano Best regards, Luis Hernández Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sascha66 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Luis, can you please send me your config file? I'll try and find a discrepancy to mine, maybe I'll get lucky. Using the lights should be straightforward, I can't think of what the problem is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmhariano Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Please see it attached, Sascha. I changed the extension so that it can be attached. The name is different, because I keep multiple CFG files and shortcuts, depending on the controller I use. This is the CFG I use the most.

JSMR Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Maybe a rundown of every step you've taken to install the EVO textures. As Sascha says, its a pretty simple process. https://fshub.io/airline/RUA/overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmhariano Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Thanks, I'll sift it over the weekend! Thanks! Looking forward to your findings! Maybe a rundown of every step you've taken to install the EVO textures. As Sascha says, its a pretty simple process. True, there should be no room for error. Anyway, this is what I did: 1. Disable my antivirus (just in case). 2. Unzipped all the contents of the included Zip files; each in its own folder. 3. Copied the contents of fs9_texture.zip into FS9\Texture. 4. Copied the contents of fs9_scenery_world_texture_standard.zip into FS9\Scenery\World\Texture (had to do so in order to get the AGN files). 5. Copied the contents of fs9_scenery_world_texture_hires.zip into FS9\Scenery\World\Texture. 6. Copied the default.xml from fs9_autogen.zip into FS9\Autogen. 7. Copied FS9EVO_lights.BGL into FS9\Scenery\Generic\Scenery. 8. Rebooted and reenabled antivirus. 9. Fired up FS9 and loaded a night flight in KSEA (where I just have an AFCAD), just for checking. 10. Banged my head against the wall because I can't still see any night lights... Apart from Step 10, I can't find what did I do wrong...

il88pp Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 You have put the light file in a: ../scenery folder. I don't know the software, but I assume that location is correct. You will also need to activate that folder in the scenery library list in FS. (like you might also do with addon airports.)

lmhariano Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Check. I moved it to another FS9 default scenery folder (FS9\Addon scenery\Scenery; also pre-activated by MS). As expected, no changes at all: still no lights :confused: Best regards, Luis Hernández Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 are you sure that folder is activated? It normally is, but you can deactivate it. So check the scenery library list to make sure it "Addon scenery" has a ceck-mark. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find anything wrong with the config file, either. Maybe it is the terrain.cfg? I don't think you need the terrain.cfg that came with this download? https://www.avsimrus.com/f/fs2004-effects-and-addons-46/animated-evening-and-night-highway-34218.html. I think it is not necessary, but maybe I'm mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmhariano Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Thanks Sascha, I will check... in 10 days that I'll be back from visiting my family. Which terrain.cfg are you using? The one that came default with FS9? I forgot to say that I changed from Howard's TNW2017 to EVO 2018. I think TNW2017 had its own terrain.cfg file.

Guest Sascha66 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I'm not sure, I made a few changes myself. I can't remember where it originates from. I made a new install a couple of months back, but carreid over all the config files from my old install which had been running continuously for around 10 years (probably more). I only reinstalled because I wanted to clean up and get a performance boost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richiemo Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Hi Sascha - can't find where to download this and can I ask, if you do download it, does it override third party scenery, like a BlueSim or ImagineSim airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sascha66 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hi Mark, did you get a PM? I think I can't send any, I just checked and my sent folder is empty. Please send me a PM with your email and I'll respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markg55 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hi Sascha. I sent you some coin via PayPal to the email you posted in the PM. Paypal said it might take a day process. No worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sascha66 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Thank you, I sent you the link! I'm glad to know my PM went out, don't know why my outbox shows no messages at all. Does anyone else have this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmhariano Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I'm finally back home. I replaced my current terrain.cfg (which was modified by TNW2017) with the default terrain.cfg from Microsoft, still does not work. I tried the Russian one, it does neither work :( :( Best regards, Luis Hernández Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sascha66 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Well then I'm stumped, so far no-one else has reported a similar problem. I don't know what else to suggest. Can you okease send me a screenshot of the folder where the bgl file is in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
