I am not trying to be nit-picky here, but this is so close to being perfect.
Is there a way to tone down the halo effect on the lead-in and tower lights, or is this hard wired into AFS4?

The lighting effects can be freely programmed in all respects.
I'll write later how it works.
Here is an example of how lights in FS4 can be called up via the TAP file:
A call via a TOC file is also possible, although the TOC files usual in FS2 have to be integrated differently in FS4.
Some notes on the individual lines:
165:
- the RGB values can also be entered between 0 and 1 with decimal places
166:
- the intensity goes from 0-♾️
167:
- this is the most complex setting because three different parameters are entered here
168:
- unfortunately, so far I have only found the difference between the values 0 and 1
=> I'm missing a value for a glow during the day
This is pretty advanced for me. How do I edit the file, is there a program I need to open it ?
The TAP and TSC files as well as uncompiled TOC files can be opened and modified with a text editor. I started years ago with small steps and gradually moved towards my current knowledge.
The TAP file must then be compiled into the 4 files TMB, TOC, TSC and WAD, as I write in the accompanying text. This is quick and easy.
The additional TSC file (with a different name than the TAP file) with data from FS2, if present, does not need to be further compiled.
I consciously always publish the TAP files for my airports in the spirit of an open source concept. So everyone can see how something is programmed by me in detail. And I'm happy about everyone who does the same. This way you can easily see how others do something - and you can also build on what already exists and easily adapt and further develop it for yourself. My wish for IPACS is that IPACS also publishes the TAP files.😀
Sorry, I tried to edit the file to 300 intensity, but see no change. What intensity are the red/green lights on the buoys/ships/boats/ferry in the harbour? This intensity level I think should be a closer match.
The light settings for the buoys are in the directory "as_hk_hk0000_hong_kong_addon/water_buoys" in the file "lighthuse_light_cultivation.toc", which I am attaching as a ZIP file.
Looks fantastic. Is there a guide on how to install this for newbies as I've never added scenery before. Cheers Steve
Hi Steve, are you the Vulcan builder ???
