VHHX Checkerboard lighting fix v0.1
Overview This mod restores the iconic checkerboard hill lighting that was present in earlier versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator and is currently missing and obstructed in MSFS 2024. It also removes the building located directly in front of the hill, allowing the checkerboard lighting to be fully visible again. The goal of this mod is to improve realism, landmark visibility, and nighttime immersion.
(Please note that the distance the lights load in is based on your LODs since these lights are linked to the VHHX airport)
Features Restores the red-and-white checkerboard hill lighting Lighting is visible and properly illuminated at night Removes the building that obstructs the view of the hill Lightweight scenery-only mod with no performance impact
Future plans Change lighting color to be more accurate and adding actual light fixtures instead of magic floating light
Please note: this is my first ever mod, so if there are any issues, bugs, or inconsistencies, that is likely the reason. Feedback is welcome and appreciated.
