V5.3 HF1 - Airport effects/lights are stuck ON

Post by Bozo92 »

Clean v5.3 HF1 install. Default airports (and add-on) are now showing all light effects (apron, runway etc) during the daylight hours.

LM dev team, if technically possible can share a fix here that does not involve us waiting for the next HF or .x release ?

Thank you

We identified the cause of the issue and will update the hotfix with this change as soon as possible. For those that have already downloaded the hotfix this will only require a client update. Thanks again for reporting this issue and your patience while it gets resolved.

I just finished downloading the hotfix but didn't install it yet. Now that I saw this thread I will wait for the update then I will install hotfix 1. I hope you post when the updated hotfix will be ready to download.

Agreed, hopefully they can get a quick one out tomorrow before Xmas break.

An option to turn this on or off would be very nice :-)
In Europe many Airport have the Lights on during daytime.

I hope that the new Client will be updated with the same version, considering that others are updating the software with the new version.
Also it would appreciated if you can share a fix without have to reinstall pieces of software (especially before the holidays).
Thanks for your fast replay and for your understanding

Hi LM
In the same way as light in day time, could you confirm that we can have FPS on one info line?
