External lighting adjustments to brighten and improve visibility for the PMDG 737
This modification is only for improving the exterior lights' visibility on the PMDG 737 and reducing excessive blooms.
[INSTALLATION]
Before doing anything else, make a backup for the Effects folder located in pmdg-aircraft-736, pmdg-aircraft-737, pmdg-aircraft-738, pmdg-aircraft-739 [effects] if you choose to backout if something goes wrong or want to go back to the defaults.
[Installation Instructions]
Based on your MSFS 2020, follow the relevant path:
Microsoft Store/Xbox App:
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community
Steam:
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community
- Once you located your prespective PMDG Folders, drag the Effects into the pmdg-aircraft to overlap the current existing Effects folder. (Assuming you already duplicated the effects and already made a backup for all varients or on the selective PMDG 737(s).)
- Launch MSFS 2020 and test out the lights for your relevant airframe(s).
- Enjoy!

Also the CRC32 which changes with modified files are exactly identical to the base pmdg.
Can you confirm if you indeed changed anything as if 1.9 patch changes files then the modified dates should be new not last modified 31/01/2023

Can you make the winglet lighting much brighter? In reality, this fills almost the entire winglet.

Thank you ! its really helping on taxi/landing lights. Just one question/comment. Dont you find the Strobes lights a little bit OP ? at least the regular non-led ones ?
Thank you !

What makes them OP? If the non-led regular strobes are excessive, i can reduce them to a fair amount for the next update.
