Drone strobe lights

Post by Nuno Santos »

On Keith's videos we can perfectly see all the drone traffic in the air strobing around which makes for a great view and easy to spot traffic. I understand Keith is flying with X-Plane. But on my FSX I can only see other aircraft's strobes and other lights at dawn/dusk and probably at night (never flew on PE at night so far). But when flying during the day, which for me is 95% of the time, there are no visible lights at all. So, I am forced to turn on those horrendous FSX red labels, otherwise I can never see other traffic unless they come for a close shave.

Is there anything that can be done, any settings that I should change? Thanks.

I use A2A Shockwave Lights add-on which really enhances the visibility of AI traffic at night and even during the day. It's kind of remarkable! Give it a try.

Thanks Julio, I'll check that. Actually this isn't a PE thing, lightning is one of the worse things on FSX, it is always too bright or too big, or too square, it's very hard to get it working right.
