1.1.33 Beta - No cockpit lights

[matpietsch]

I have installed the latest Beta into p3dv5 and it seems to work okish but I have not cockpit light also also the annunciator panel is dark. I assume it is real light that is messed up. A uninstall and reinstall did not solve the issue. Real light is being installed though. Any ideas?

Same issue here in V5.

Unable to duplicate, working fine here. I have render to transparent turned off otherwise I don't have enough memory.

After a bit more playing:

When I put legacy render files in , I didn't have lights. I toggled render to transparent in MVAMS and saved, then turned back off and saved. Lights are working. May have been a coincidence but give that a shot. Also make sure your master panel light switch is on. Mine isn't saving the state of that switch from flight to flight ( don't know if it's supposed to)

No dice.

What does render to transparent actually do? It is just a nam who me but no explanation was ever provided that I know of.

Also it would be nice to know what the legacy render mode should be used for .

Same on my end (P3Dv5) - I have no panel lights at all.
- Tried the "normal" files and the legacy rendering files, zero difference.
- Uninstalled/reinstalled the 350i
- tried the transparent rendering on/off
- single GTX GPU (so no SLI)

Tried your suggestions (same as gboag.mach2) but it did not work. This has to be a real light issue.
Running a pretty new p3v5 HF2 with a GTX 1070 with up to date drivers. No shader modifications.

Since i don't have that issue with other planes (MD80, A320, 737, 747), it has to be a reallight issue.

Also running p3dv5 hf2 and a gtx1070 Btw.

And trueglas us disabled on my end, that thing sucks way too much vram (!) - Observed on the md80 and now on the 350i. >2gb vram for trueglas is too much.

Please try running reallight installer from command prompt with /beta as an argument

Installer is in:
\Prepar3Dv5\SimObjects\Airplanes\MV_King_Air_350i\Redistributables

LegacyRender replaces the PDK rendering system with the older gauges system - lower quality/lower performance, but more compatible (SLI, V5/Win7)

Panel.NoTransparent.cfg (rename to panel.cfg)
NoTransparent removes TrueGlass and the textures it creates

Ok so this is not an option as I need true glass.
So what’s next? The plane is not working as with no lights and no indicator panel it is pretty much useless. All of them are tied to real lights which is not working.

Did you try what I posted 2 posts back? You can also rerun the trueglass installer with the /beta flag

Yep, I did. As the other user also did. No difference unfortunately (transparent surfaces on or off).
Where can I find the independent real light installer?
