Disable Real Light

Post by dehowie65 » Sun Dec 22, 2019 6:11 am

G'day,
Can we use the King Air without Real Light?
Real light has had now for over three years had a rather large issue of mass flickering with SLI systems.
P3D has been significantly optimized over the V4 versions to give a significant benefit to using SLI hence i get about a 20 to 25% performance boost using my twin 1080's.
The TFDI 717 has the same issue of which they where supposed to have a fix out 2 years ago.
So can we operate the 350 without using such a poorly supported piece of software that appears to come included by default?
ALL SLI users will have the same issue and the only way to fix it is to boot single card and lose 25% of my FPS.
Aerosoft has since given the option of Real light free installs on their aircraft due to the same plus other Real Light issues.
It appears hoever produces Real Light has refused to take responsibilty for the fix and simply giving up trying to fix it as it has now dragged on for 3 years.

Forgot to add the 350 is awesome.
I flew 200's at the Royal Flying Doctor Service down here and it feels extremely real.
Perf is very good to..
Well done..

Have also trouble with Real Light. As the developer (Colin Biedenkopp) is around here too: I do not have an SLI config (one 1070)! Everything SLI disabled, newest drivers and still flickering.

Have you tried the option of turning off "render to transparent surfaces" in the MVAMS? I don't have SLI but worth a shot...

@dehowie65 since you have a SLI setup, there is something I might need you to test. Just working out some things internally first.

The same issue and question here. Leonardo MD, implemented different lights just because TFDi forget about users. If you need to test something, I'm also can help. Thanks.

And maybe this viewtopic.php?f=105&t=11234#p93259 because realight? I have the same issue.

I concur this situation with Real Light and SLI. Simply turning off SLI to fly the king air still results in the whole screen flickering.

I have 2x1080ti and turning off SLI fixed the issue with screens but no with dramatically dropping fps with external lights on. For me turning off SLI isn't way to solve these problems. No such issues even with Fslabs.

In order to disable Reallight completely one can go to their panel folder and open the panel.cfg , in section [Vcockpit01] place a double strike // before like so //gauge07 = RealLight!Core

Save and its done

If I have the right understanding when it is done, there will be no lights external or internal? I'm away from home can't check.

No. RealLight is only used for interior lighting. Exterior lighting is purely FSX/P3D effect files.

Great to hear this as temporary solution. But I hope for permanent one. Great addon by the way and flight at night or dusk will be great when permanent fix realised.

I must say after being initially concerned about having to turn off SLI the performance of the 350 is so good its not really an issue.
Happy to help test some fixes for this outstanding addon!

I believe we have located the potential fix for RL flickering. Working on the fix.

Thank you for providing this info! We are waiting for a fix and one more time thank you for helping SLI users! Frankly speaking, you do what TFDi must fix themself.
