    Description

    Aerosoft/Toliss A346 Light Mod

    VC and external light mod for the a346, now with realistic projector-style front panel flood lights. unfortunately, LCD brightness and integral light knobs are not mapped to light potentiometers in the model so cannot modulate brightness with the knob. Beacon effect is also baked

    into the model which is affected by distance (LOD) but this mod adds normal .fx beacons to overcome the issue (will see out of sync/overlapping beacons when up close to the model).

    v2.4

    1) compatibility with release v1.0.3 (FS20, FS24)

    2) FS24 light intensity readjustment

    v2.3

    1) softened projector flood light intensity transition

    v2.2

    1) tweak center floods (L & R same size)

    2) add flood light bounce near the sources

    v2.0

    1) projector-style front panel flood lights

    v1.1

    1) interior light tweaks (integral light illumination around the vc, etc.)

    2) brighter landing lights

    3) taxi light cone adjusted

    4) strobes reworked

    5) smaller white nav lights

    6) fix ghost beacons for fs24

    v1.0

    1) flood light throw pattern and color fixed

    2) LCD panel light emission under and around the glareshield for the volumetric effect (cannot be made responsive to panel brightness knob setting)

    3) flood/integral light bounce to overhead, pedestal, etc.

    4) tweak nav lights

    5) reworked cockpit reading/map/flood lights

    6) beacons are now visible from far distance/zoom out view, light bounce on wings added

    the ambient light levels in this mod were set using the Pimax Crystal Super QLED (local dimming=on) and a Samsung 4k monitor in full screen mode in a dark room.

    To install, place "za340-600_light_mod_fs20" folder in the /MSFS2020/Community folder.

    Excellent! You saved my night flying! Are there some lines I can tweak to make the reflection lighting on the underside of the glare shield less bright? They are brighter in my 2024 sim than the example photos here .. and being able to turn the level down a smidge would be great! Big thanks!

    Hi, sorry one last thing. When I am looking at the plane from the outside plane view, the strobe lights can be seen from a good distance away. However, when I zoom out even a tiny distance, the navigation lights disappear. I need to be zoomed in pretty close to see the navigation lights. Is there some setting I should change? Thanks again for all your help and assitance.

    Hello, excellent work! Quick question, in your screenshots, you have the first officer or co-pilot visible. How were you able to do this as I do not see an option under settings to make the co-pilot visible for this plane? Thank you!

    there's a way to add copilot in fs20 by modifying the lod0 .gltf file. hesitant to include this in mod as ANY model change update breaks the model and becomes a maintenance headache.

    @kdfw Thank you. Actually, I am using Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. I was going crazy trying to add the first officer to this plane haha. I didn't realize I had to modify a file. Thanks again for this mod and your response.

    the mod also works in fs24 as well. i may include them in the next update with a stern warning. best thing is to go to the aerosoft forum and ask the dev to include the option to show the copilot.

    I have already commented on how great this mod is and I love it. Is there any chance of tweaking the top beacon to be more bright and dynamic and the rear strobe if possible. Thanks again for making my flying more fun!

    fs24's bugged lighting sometimes shows the light source from certain angles.

    the video shows the beacons flashing at around 0.92hz. the mod is already slightly faster at 1.0hz.

    In FS2020, the Taxi Lights are still too dimmed. The LIGHT_A346_TAXI.fx file contains these values:

    [LightAttributes.0]
    Type=spot
    Size=0.0
    Range=500.0
    Intensity=150.0

    Does setting Intensity to "300.0", for example, increase the intensity of TAXI Light?
    Thanks

    Yes, I can confirm that changing that value increases the intensity of the TAXI Lights.
    In FS2020, I set a value of 600, and now the yellow lines and gate numbers are clearly legible in the dark.
    I would like to lower the cockpit spotlights because they are sometimes annoying to the eyes, but I need to understand which file contains the values ​​to change.

    Aerosoft themselves took note and recommended this mod until they do their own model and lighting update in the future. Good job!
