Need Help: Matrox effect on runway landing lights

[SAS541]

I sent it to you right now.

I tried the file that Phil suggested so i could compare it with mine and still found the lights too large on my setup with .70 zoom. Mine has much smaller light objects, so i think it gives me a slightly better effect, but i have all the scalar settings on 0.70 and not 0.50

Matt,

Did the file get put in the download library? If so, what sub-folder? I'm trying Phil's suggestion for the Halo.bmp, but I still would like the other file that Benja has...

Thanks,

John

Rafman925. Hi SAS541 if you have that modified Halo.bmp file I'd welcome a copy. Although I've followed all the instructions and turned down the halo smaller I'm still getting massive runway approach lights. Certainly adds to the 'I can't miss the runway' feeling, but I'd be happier with smaller aproach lights. Thanks Rafman925

I have the TH2Go analog version and when i first got it, all the lights in FS9 and FSX were blurred. I used the Scalar settings and this helped, but still the taxiway lights and the VASI were over size and blurry.

In the end i extracted the mipped image from Halo.bmp, gave it to a graphics guru friend of mine, she reduced the size of each of the 4 light images in it (preserving the exact center position of each light image) and then i re-mipped it with all the different levels.

This was after a lot of mails back and forth with a guy called James in the UK, that knows an amazing amount about mips etc. Without his advice, i would never have known how to extract the original bmp file in the first place.

Anyway, if anybody wants this Halo.bmp file, let me know and i can send it to you.

Benja

Rafman,

I would send a PM to Matt O and see if he has the files stored somewhere else so he can restore it, as i don't think i even have the original anymore due to building a cockpit setup and removing the TripleHead2Go.

Sorry about that.
