A lighting and atmosphere Lua script for X Plane 12. Specifically designed for night lighting enhancement. Now includes optional changes to night lighting.

Key features:

Adjust intensity of night lighting to suit your preference.

Adjust daytime lighting and atmosphere.

Kill 3D rain to help with performance/if you don't like it. (other rain effects remain).

Adjust intensity of night sky.

Enable/disable Volumetric Lights for great screenshots.

Save and load up to three presets, with keybind support (search ITC in keybind menu).

Adjust cloud size, scale, and shape.

Change color of far night lighting in real time.

The lua script is fully compatible with other light mods and default lighting.

--

v2.2 has been released.

Note screenshots represent custom values (the mod is customizable), they're used to give an idea of what types of changes can be achieved. Find your own preset and use that!

The mod is versatile. You can use just the lights, just the lua script, your own lights, other light mods, or any combination. It's up to you.


Requires FlyWithLua NG for X Plane 12. Get it here:

FlyWithLua

Installation:

Extract the zip file and copy all lua and .itc files to:

C:\X-Plane 12\Resources\plugins\FlyWithLua\Scripts

Go to C:\X-Plane 12\Resources\bitmaps\world\lites, make a copy of 1000_lights_close.png, and copy 1000_lights_close.png from the zip file to the C:\X-Plane 12\Resources\bitmaps\world\lites folder.

For the optional light changes:

Go to C:\X-Plane 12\Resources\bitmaps\world\lites and make a copy of lights.txt, then copy the files from the Optional Lights folder and paste them into the C:\X-Plane 12\Resources\bitmaps\world\lites folder.

For the optional urban far textures:

Go to C:\X-Plane 12\Resources\default scenery\1000 world terrain\textures12\urban_FAR and paste the files from Optional - Urban FAR.

Make a copy of default files prior to installing. If you have issues with the mod, you can restore default files:

On Steam, go to your Library, right click X Plane 12, select Properties>Local Files, and click Verify integrity of game files.

On Standalone, go to your X Plane 12 folder and run the X Plane 12 Installer, click to Update, allow it to scan files, and when prompted allow it to replace old files.

--

Launch X Plane and find it under Plugins>FlyWithLua>FlywithLua Macros>ITC Lighting Controls

To use preset keybinds:

Go to your keybind menu and search for "ITC." They may be at the bottom of the list. You can load presets without opening the ITC window.

I must be doing something wrong. I change the Light Storage to about 4.5 and the cockpit is nice and bright. I then save the preset and as soon as I load the preset again everything is dark. Am I missing a step? Thanks.

Love this mod. One thing I don't like is you can't see the volumetric lights in 3D cockpit view. Can this be implemented? Would be amazing.

Hi, will there be an update for this soon? I can no longer save presets as of 12.04r1 update.

Hello, and excellent work, would there be the possibility of being able to adjust the lower intensity of the Spill function without checking the killing spill box, thanks for all

"make a copy of 1000_lights_close.png, and copy 1000_lights_close.png from the ITC Lights zip folder."

There's no "ITC_lights"- folder!

Very nice and works well in latest xplane 12. very appreciate your work. Hope you have tweak landing lights Toliss. Thanks

typicalskeleton, many thanks for adding in the airport lights mods that I requested. I really appreciate your efforts. Merry Christmas!

Also, I have assigned a keybind to preset one as per your suggestion but I noticed that it does not save the extras, eg airport lights on. Is this possible? Thanks again and sorry for all the requests but I am really loving your plug in.

Hi, is there any chance that your own saved preset 1 can be set as the default preset? This would save it having to be loaded each time (sometimes I forget). Many thanks for your efforts with this.

Doesn't seem to work for latest RC3 Xplane 12.

Thanks for the update, much appreciated. Quick question, is there any way I can alter the script to enable airports lights on 24/7? Thanks again.

Gets put into Lua quarantine as soon as flight started for some reason

Many thanks for this, it's great. Any chance of adding a line to make the runway lights brighter during the day? I usually only find them about a couple of miles away. Thanks in advance.
