[RESOLVED]ALSF-II In P3D v4?

[Martyson]

Hello, I have been looking around at airports to try and find ALSF-II Approach Lights but I can't seem to find it. The Closest thing I see is ALSF-II ones without the Sequenced Flashing Lights. If anyone can find an airport with ALSF-II that has the Sequenced Flashing Lights, please let me know the ICAO of the airport. Thanks!

Which airports have you checked?

Have you looked at any approach plates?

[Martyson]

I have looked at Approach plates, and (all default) I have looked at JFK, LAX, ATL, KMSP, and more.

Ok, JFK.
Your approach plate for KJFK 04R.
What do you see?
Maybe do a screenshot.

"Okay, (I used scenery for this approach) It's not showing up. I even tried default and still no Sequenced Flashing Lights"


I use OrBx Global and FSDT KJFKv2 and Appr Seq Lights are working.

[Martyson]

I use Drzewiecki Design NY Airports. I don't know if it's a scenery thing at all.

Maybe ask Drzewiecki support ... or maybe someone using it here knows / could test.

[Martyson]

Give this a look .. KDTW various runways have strobes.

[Martyson]

That isn't ALSF-II though. I wanted it ALSF-II though. Now, i'll try to make do w/o the Sequenced Flashing Lights.

What do you think they are?

I went and did two top down shots to capture the flashes:

It could be that the effects used are not compatible with V4...

On my own airport ALSF-II looks like the picture.
The lights flash on when the plane approaches.

This is my own developed airport, there is no published.
I don't know exactly the distance when the flashing on is triggered,
but it was a turn around flight of my airport, it was near about 400 feet.

See post above from Vaughan Martell (KDTW)
Example is KJFK 04R.
He use the ADE (Airport design editor) program, this is free.

I have not modified any scenery.
My KJFK screenshot was from payware airport FSDT.
My KDTW was default P3D.

I tested KATL.
KATL-Appr-Strobes active on RWYS 27L, 26L, 26R

Here is KATL screenshot, default airport P3Dv4, I just did a test approach to ILS 027L

[Martyson]

Is your Visibility set to 3 miles? I was told to get the strobes you need to have visibility set to 3 miles.

I just selected the airport, aircraft, nighttime, took off, circled, approached, landed.

Have you not seen approach lights / strobes at any P3D default airport yet?

[Martyson]

I have not seen strobes on approach lights on the ALSF-II.

Do a screenshot or better yet a video of your KATL 27L approach .. like in my screenahot.
What type of PC do you have?
What are your PC, monitor and graphics card specs?
How many monitors are you using?

KATL .. here is the poor visibility approach today.

[Martyson]

That's not ALSF-II Though. Can you try to see if ALSF-II has Strobes with 3 mile visibility? I am away from home right now but I will be back later.

Go to KATL and set up for an approach (night / weather) and do screenshots or video of what you see.

[Martyson]

This morning P3Dv4.1, KPIT RWY 10L, user weather test, 3nm visibility, strobes on approach.
Let me know what you see.
