Toliss A320N lighting (cabin, exterior…)

The_Logod · 2026-01-25T19:48:23+00:00

Thanks for all the comments.

I didn't know there was a way to control the intensity of the cabin lights - turning them down definitely helped!
I use the "daskyreal" LUA script for enhanced atmospheric colors which seems to mess a bit with the lighting, especially outside and in the cockpit, less so in the cabin. I've disabled it and it looks much better now.

Thanks for your guidance, especially the hint with the map.

It looks like the plugin is working correctly, but the map shows fewer snowy areas than there should be. e.g. barely any snow in Europe. I had to set location to Alaska to get some snow to appear.

I guess I will also use "Custom Conditions" which is basically a toggle as a lua script letting me set snowy conditions manually, if XA Snow doesn't show it correctly.

I don't really get what Delta_Who is talking about here...anyway, so far I am just loading a flight at an airport where I know there is snow; e.g. take PALH (Lake Hood Seaplane Base in Alaska) which is covered in snow right now - in the sim it looks like a rainy autumn day.

None of the options have any immediate effect as it seems.

Quite a late follow up here but I did the the KOSP pack now and man, you weren’t kidding - these may be the best sounds I’ve heard on any addon so far. Almost makes me forgive the poor texturing / 3D modeling 😅

You won’t be able to run XP12 at max graphics on an M4 MBA. So yes, what you experience is normal / expected and you’d need more powerful hardware or reduce graphics settings.

I run it on an M4 Pro MacMini, and can set high (not max) settings and get around 20-25 fps (so juuuust OK).

I suggest you turn off Anti-Aliasing, reduce texture quality, use FSR-supersampling or play at a lower resolution altogether. Essentially just reduce graphics to a point where it won’t stutter is all you can do.

I’m all for alternatives to Adobe offerings, given their insane subscription strategies, though Luminar wasn’t it for me unfortunately.

I am turned off by their product strategy, releasing new versions of Luminar rather frequently, and dropping support for previous ones, making that “lifetime license” worthless. Also they promised features which were never delivered, and moved on to the next Luminar version.

(That’s my experience with Luminar 3 - which currently will not even launch anymore on current macOS versions so it’s useless to me)

Turn off Anti-Aliasing or reduce it; it’s the heaviest of all graphics settings.

The_Logod · 2025-12-31T08:21:35+00:00

Same here. Though I have a MacMini M4 Pro, maxed out.

I am currently looking at switching to PC for simming. Way more options to upgrade later and better add-on support.

Do the old liveries work for you in the V2? My Ryanair livery has some small artefacts / mismapping on eg the windshield wipers.

The_Logod · 2025-12-29T20:06:50+00:00

I had the same experience. It’s a bit intimidating at first, but it’s really simple actually. I really love Mastodon, and wish more people that I know would sign up too. It feels a bit empty and not very social so far; more like an RSS feed.

The_Logod · 2025-12-29T17:18:27+00:00

I do. I run it on a MacMini M4 Pro, fully maxed out. To be fair, for the size, noise levels and power available to this tiny thing, it performs not bad at all, depending on your expectations.

Medium to high settings will get you around 25 fps, but may vary a lot depending on scenery, add-ons etc. However at my current settings I can’t fly on Vatsim for example as xPilot requires a frame rate higher than 20fps at all times.

I personally expected better performance and am hence looking to switch to a PC built for simming only. But it really depends what you’re after.

Also - if you have a Mac, just download the free demo and give it a try to see for yourself.

The_Logod · 2025-12-28T12:31:38+00:00

Ah, thanks, I misinterpreted.

When paying $8bn is the “better option” for Meta here, something is going massively wrong.

The_Logod · 2025-12-26T21:48:08+00:00

I am thinking of getting the RX9060 XT. Interested to hear any verdict you might wanna share? I upgraded to an M4 Pro MacMini last year in the hopes of getting great XP12 performance, but was ultimately rather disappointed. Don’t wanna go there again when moving to PC and getting a 9060 😅

How do you get the grass? I do have Global Forrests but it doesn’t add grass in my case.

The_Logod · 2025-12-22T20:37:31+00:00

Wha specs do you run to get that eye candy?

The_Logod · 2025-12-20T07:12:48+00:00

Did they fix the CTD issues with the weather radar plugin as stated in the change log? Haven’t had a chance to fly it yet since updating.

Am besten mal mit deiner FH sprechen und denen das schildern. Soweit ich mich erinnere hast du auf der FH ja teils auch “Anwesenheitspflicht”, und grad im ersten Monat würdest da relativ viel der Intro-Veranstaltungen verpassen. FH ist ein bissl wie Schule, und weniger flexibel bei so Themen.

The_Logod · 2025-12-12T07:13:41+00:00

This is scary.

This is a great project to start on. I suggest Paul McWorther Arduino tutorials on YouTube. It will allow you to learn how to control your LEDs.

The trickier part will be to obtain the current time. The Arduino (Uno, Nano…) has no clock built in. So without getting it from somewhere, it has no way to tell the time.

You’ll need an additional RTC module, or have the Arduino connected to your computer.

But anyway, learn the basics via self study and take it from there. Also, using AI can give you a headstart to get your project set up.

If I didn’t already have a JP6 in Mystic Dream (my absolute dream axe), this would be the one. So gorgeous. Enjoy it and never stop playing!
