In reply to mattp. The lights aren't really accessible to tweaking by third parties by a formal SDK, but if users want to go in and hack them, well, it's all text files, so our view is "do what you want, please just don't complain if it blows up." So if someone hacked the lights in a way you like, great. :-)

Just a note that there’s a gent on the org who’s released various tweaks including alts to light shaders and enlarged light billboards. As an interim fix I’ve been pretty happy with the alternative billboards for runway lighting. I guess the aircraft lights are disproportionetly bright which, in my case, I can live with.

In reply to Chris Strosser.

I think we’re keeping the 4x SSAA fix no matter what – that one’s a simple bug fix.

Re: the resolution, I think I have to back that out until Alex is back to take a look and we can come up with something a bit better thought out that isn’t just a massive change in lighting sizes.

As one of your 1920×1080 with 4x SSAA users, I feel the need to comment. Perhaps the RC1 lights weren’t perfect (really only because perfection is highly subjective), but I preferred the RC1 lights over previous iterations. If it were up to me, I would keep the RC1 changes for scenery, and make aircraft lights a **TINY** bit smaller. On the Org, I got the sense that many people felt there was a general improvement despite some of the complaints, and of course, people are more apt to report negative vs. positive feedback.
