Hello,
after installation of p3d v5.3 all seems to work fine except of strobe lights in winglets.... All other planes (addons) have all OK. Any idea what can be wrong or what needs to be chamged ?
many thanks !

Just give up… they’re not gonna update the 757 for P3D anymore…

It looks like the light is missing transparency on the texture file or with the new PBR maybe it needs to get modified to make that area transparent.

Picture of the issue.

Here's an additional picture during the day.

Copying the cs767strR.fx and renaming it  cs757_stb.fx worked for me.

Located in P3D v5 effects folder.

That's one way to do it. I actually edited line 214 of the default of CS757_stb.fx It should be the 3rd line down under [particle.3]  I changed
X Scale=3.00, 3.00 to X Scale=0.00, 0.00 And looks as it did before, I tried your suggestion but it caused some strange bleeding of the light through the wing.

This is working perfectly, thank you! :)

Great fix!! The beauty of Forums!! Thanks!!

Sorry to sound dumb but where do I find 'particle 3'? I've looked through the CFG for each 757 model but cannot find anything similar.
Line 214 in the CFG is CameraDefinition.7 which is PanPbhAdjust=Swivel
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

cs757_stb.fx can be found in the P3D\Effects folder. Open the file with Notepad, then scroll down to [particle.3], or search for [particle.3] then edit it and save.

BACKUP THE FILE BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES.

Many thanks!
After years of making mistakes I backup everything first!!!

Best for me → copying the cs1011_stb.fx and renaming it  cs757_stb.fx.

It´s better because CS767 has side L and R for strobe lts,
CS 1011 doesn´t .

And change

X Scale=10.00, 10.00

to

X Scale=5.00, 5.00 

exatly as explained above in previous posts.
