Or are you referring to the 3-d spot lights? Those aren’t available for scenery.

If yes, do you have any idea of a framerate loss according to what happens in the cockpits? I talk about adding this to a very small area around the plane, maybe 1 mille around

The only feature that isn’t available in 3-d (in concert with other new features) is the 2-d spot lights. (Use the 3-d spot lights instead.)
