Title: KLAX no landing lights **SOLVED**
Post by: Llondon on November 23, 2017, 06:56:37 am

Just purchased KLAX and several other airports. On the runway at KLAX no landing lights are illuminated on the runway. Ran FSDT update after install. Lights are on in spot mode cannot see illumination from cockpit.

It's very likely something from OrbX has caused a conflict. See the OrbX forum: there are several threads about what files must be removed to fix compatibility issues to 3rd party airports, in our case, we are aware they have fixes for both KLAS and KLAX.

Reply from Orbx:
Indeed, but to have a compatibility problem with a product, you must first have that product installed and it appears that you don't. All the FTX KLAX and KLAS files are in SCA which you say you don't have. I would suggest that you return to their forum and tell them that this is the case.

I have installed Los Angeles V2. I do not see this product on your site anymore. Do I need KlAX to make Los Angeles V2 work?

 Have you set your Library insertion points correctly within FTX Central?

Not sure what correct is. They are set to below FTX.

All your airport add-ons need to be above any FTX add-ons in the scenery library. In general. all airports should be at the top.

None of the add on airports (FSDT) appear in the scenery Orbx library. The only airport that thi is an issue is KLAX.

I discovered if I pan-up the lights will illuminate. As soon as I pan back to a level view the lights disappear.

I'm sorry, but I cannot reproduce the problem. Tried the PMDG 747 ( I don't have the 737 in P3D4 ), and all 4 landing lights show up just fine at KLAX 7L.

I tried the default 737 imported from FSX, and they work too. Does it happen only with the PMDG 737 ? Have you tried other airplanes ?

Don't know what I did but on a hunch I deleted the Prepare3d config file and now I have lights. Thanks for the help I apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused.
