About this Add-On:
My Add-On will enhance your lighting on X-Plane tremendously, I have enhanced all lighting on X-Plane including City Lights, Airport lights including Runways, taxiways and Stand lights. I have also enhanced all aircraft interior lighting including Floods Domes and MCP panel lights. Aircraft Exterior lights have also been edited such as Navigation, Beacon, Strobe, Taxi and Landing lights.
1. Installation Instructions:
You will find the installation instructions in the file as a pdf: Readme MOD Install and Usage Guide
Important:
Maybe you need to first lower your setting to the lowest possible when you start xplane. If you have done that in the main menu close xplane again and try to spawn with 737 with the lowest settings possible at day time. when you are spawned you can change to night time close the sim and than open it again. than spawn in again at night time. Now yo can slowly start pushing your settings up one by one! Dont forget that sometimes you will need to restart X Plane each time you changed one setting!
WARNING!!!:
IF YOU UPDATE X-PLANE 12 YOU WILL NEED TO REINSTALL MY MOD BEFORE YOU START THE SIM AFTER THE UPDATE!!!
!
Note: Please download, install and use my other addons as well for the best experiance! (Comming soon!)
Im hopeing for detailed reviews and feedback!
Thank you for downloading my Add-On!

Top Marks and I am pleased to see Zombie has decided to refine this excellent lighting mod for use with XP12.
Despite the barriers put in his way on other sim forums (🤬) he has persisted and now provides us with this Mod here on Xplane.to which improves lighting in many ways. Day and night lighting, scenery, city and sky lighting. Also cockpit interior and plane lighting is improved I feel.
I have asked him to ensure install/update instructions are improved for those not fully up to speed with managing all these multiple files.
Well done and thank you heaps. 👍👍👍👍👍

It is beautiful, no doubt, but you pay the price. HUGE fps impact.
ZombieStudios 1 year(s) ago

I have the beta version of XP12 enabled. Can I still using this mod? XP12B1

Can someone write proper instructions what to put and where? Those Installation insturctions are so confusing 😀
It says:
"INSTALLATION: Unzip the downloaded file into X-Plane 12 folder FLY WITH LUA is required paste it in the fly with lua scripts folder." So fisrt it says to put everything in root folder but then it says "paste it" on FWL- scripts- folder! What is "it"!!!??? Only scripts? WHAT!?
And should I replace all light- related files whith those .dds and lights.txt etc?
I know how LUA works, I tweaked lights by my own:
https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/69345-improved-light-shapes-and-glow-directions/
So I should know how to do this but still no.... 😀
ZombieStudios 1 year(s) ago
i will rewrite these instructions soon as possible but i rarely have time rn
TheGreatHadoken 1 year(s) ago
Not well written. Just unzip the downloaded stuff into the FlyWithLUA scripts folder. Never mind the X-Plane 12 root folder, it's got nothing to do with anything.
ZombieStudios 1 year(s) ago
its updated

This is great mod but it does cause crash to desktop when using x-csl models for realtraffic, if could find which 'art control' is the issue would be good but dont thing the log gets that much detail? -
--=={This application has crashed!}==--
(Art controls are modified.)
Edit - Thanks for fixing X-CSL CTD !
ZombieStudios 1 year(s) ago
hi there would be nice if you contact me on discord and i will have a look at it
ZombieStudios 1 year(s) ago
issue resolved
Ignaciobuiatti
You really have to improve the way you explain how to install this correctly. I get lost on the LUA part. Please take some time to fix the text, use translators if needed but fix it so we can understand that better. Cheers!
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
hi there ive kind of done it now so you should know how zo install the LUA'S now just follow the link in the description
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
are the instructions better now?
gryper 1 year(s) ago
Yup Im lost.
It says: "INSTALLATION: Unzip the downloaded file into X-Plane 12 folder FLY WITH LUA is required paste it in the fly with lua scripts folder." What? This makes no sense. Or perhaps I'm not following the right English...
I'm going to not use this.
deafaviator 1 year(s) ago
How is that not clear? Put the file in the LUA scripts folder... exactly like he said. lol
ZombieStudios 1 year(s) ago
what like really are you that lost this informations are so clear that even my 6 year old saister who doesnt has any knowlege at all managed to do this...
dzambrano10
Hey there! the light mod looks good however be advised it currently CTDs the beta CL650. I was really hoping to use it with the challenger!
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
hi there thx i will have a look at it 😊
dzambrano10 2 year(s) ago
Thanks! I'm not sure if 2.2 addresses this but still hapening.
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
look on the other comments below i got a solution for you
dzambrano10 2 year(s) ago
not sure which one you're referring to
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
well you need to look in the lights.txt for all datarefs that have sth to do with the cockpit lites and delete them but than you need to copy the cockpit lites from your default xplane 12 lights txt into the lites txt you downloaded here
ZombieStudios 1 year(s) ago
hi i found the issue its now ready to use with the other planes like the 650 or md11
dzambrano10 1 year(s) ago
Massive Green light appears around the CL650 with the mod, especially when you turn on the battery
ZombieStudios 1 year(s) ago
i will have a look at it thx for the report
energy90248
After installation it always crashes my XP12. I installed everything the way you did. I don't know what to do?
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
hi have you tryed to start the game at the lowest settings possible in the main menu than close it and open it again with the lowest settings still applyed than spawn with the lowest settings with the default 737 at day time than you can change it to night time and close the sim after that you can start to icrese your settings one by one
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
maybe you can contact me on discord and i can give you support there my discord tag is in the description
energy90248 2 year(s) ago
OK, I will contact you. But I think this problem is tricky. Until I start IVAO or VASTIM. The game crashes. Do other players have the same problem as me?
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
hi there are you still interested to get support with your issue
valtur
Thank you for great work you did!!! The light are amazing and i want ask you if is possible to disable your MOD for cockpit lights becasue for ZIBO e TOLIS i prefer their default lights. Thenk you!!!
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
well you need to look in the lights.txt for all datarefs that have sth to do with the cockpit lites and delete them but than you need to copy the cockpit lites from your default xplane 12 lights txt into the lites txt you downloaded here
valtur 2 year(s) ago
Thank you very much!!!!

This is an incredible mod and it really enhances the x-plane experience. Although it's not finished and there is room for improvement it is still an improvement from the default! Especially with the new update... it really makes you think how much potential this mod really has!
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
thank you sooo much buddy 😊 im rlly happy your likeing my mod
DesertDemon
XP12b6 just dropped. Lighting has gotten somewhat better, but there is still a long way to go on that. I find it odd that I only seem to have the airport lights excessively bright when I'm in external view, but perfectly fine when in the cockpit. Anyone else experiencing this?
dduo0328 2 year(s) ago
same here
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
i willl have a look at it but for now i need to take care of my girlfriend her health is very bad and she might be yeah you know what i mean im sorry but the health of my girlfriend is important
DesertDemon 2 year(s) ago
Of course take care of your girlfriend! I hope she pulls through whatever she's fighting. And, honestly, I wasn't looking for you to do anything; just wanted to pass on some info. Take care!
DesertDemon 2 year(s) ago
Yeah...I don't think it's the mod. Even my cockpit panel backlighting is extremely bright.
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
someone gave her the K.O. drug and she got ... yeah maybe you know what i mean and now her medical health is very bad and the doctors say its very bad and they are very worried and thank you for your time and that you write with me thank you
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
yes i see but i will try to get it it fixed for all who are useing xplane 12 bc it gives me distraction which i need
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
hi how is the new update
DesertDemon 2 year(s) ago
Hey, hope this finds everything going well. Just received the notification of your update. I'll let you know when I get it loaded and working.
Update: I just tested your latest update, and have really found no issues from your product. There is still a lot of light washout in external view, but, again, I don't think it is an issue with your mod. If I may suggest, hold off on doing any more updates, and give LR a few more updates to XP12; then see what your mod does from there. Just a thought, though...
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
hi sorry for the late response and thx for the update feedback maybe you can help me out by uploading some pics of the addon here
DesertDemon 2 year(s) ago
Sorry, it took so long to get back to you; I've been busy the past few days. I do have some pictures and videos with your mod at work. I'll get them to you as soon as I can. Hope everything is going well with your girlfriend, and hope she's doing better.
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
hi thx for uploading the images here and the health my girlfriend is finally getting better maybe you wanna check out my newest release wich is updated for the Beta 7
DesertDemon
Getting better! Still have a washout effect with the airport lighting, but not as bad as with your initial release. I think the issue is more from the LR side than anything, but so far I'm liking what I'm seeing here. Just one question, though...is it possible for the user to tweak the script to get the lighting to his/her taste? Just wondering out of curiosity. Thanks for the hard work, and press on!
ZombieStudios 2 year(s) ago
the airport lighting is indeed an LR issue with the lIT textures and the obj them selfs but maybe i can minimize that efect but that will take weeks of har work😊 . And yes everyone can tweak the lua file as he or she wants and even add sth and maybe even send me their version of the lua and when im likeing it i will include this as an option
Thank you for your great feedback
