V4.4 night textures

Post by Jonz »

Hi there,

I just installed on a recently wiped windows 10 computer my P3D v4.4 because I couldn't figure out why at night the ground looks like if there is lava flowing on it. With nothing installed in P3D, I am still having this issue. Can anyone please help with this issue? Please see screenshots:

That is normal. Areas such as suburban are textured at night to mimic street lights and look satisfactory from the air but certainly not from the ground or up close. The solution is to upgrade the scenery with a 3d party product, of which there are many. My preference is for Orbx but there are others.

Thank you very much for your reply. I had orbx landclass, vector and base installed before I wiped but it was still bleeding through. I'll reinstall it shortly. Is that all that can be done?

Well, yeah. You could work with Orbx support to fix the problem you had. It is a popular product widely used. Otherwise, you have default landclass textures that are of very low quality.
