    About this addon

    From the creator of Immersive Lights Germany

    Tired of the dull and repetitive night lighting in Microsoft Flight Simulator?
    Immersive Lights: UK is the addon you've been waiting for.

    This mod replaces generic lighting with real-world, data-driven lights accurately placed across the entire United Kingdom. From major cities such as London, Edinburgh, Dublin, and many more, to motorways, rural roads, and remote towns, every light you see is based on real-world data — delivering a truly authentic and immersive night flying experience.

    Unlike default simulator lights, these lights are independent of the LOD system, remaining clearly visible even from high altitudes. They are also highly optimized: no ground light casting and virtually zero impact on performance (FPS).

    Want to try the technology before you buy?
    You can download the Immersive Lights: London version for free on flightsim.to and experience the difference firsthand.

    Whether you’re flying VFR at night or cruising at FL350, Immersive Lights: UK brings the United Kingdom to life after dark like never before.

    Changelog

    v2about 11 hours ago

    The biggest update so far: lights now illuminate the ground, and every city gets far more realistic, varied lighting. Important: Remove old versions. If you prefer the lights without the ground glow, just leave out or remove the "-glow" folder. The lights work on their own. Enjoy! New - Ground glow: roads, junctions and lamps now cast soft light on the ground, following the terrain. - Floodlights: stadiums, sports centres, industry, piers and shopping areas now use banks of floodlights, the brightest lights in the scene, with their light pooling inside the site. Lit sports fields, tracks, river ports and big-city rail yards get floodlight masts too. - Shop signs: colored lights in busy commercial streets (green pharmacy crosses, neon bars, warm restaurant fronts). - Lamp variety: brightness and color temperature vary from pole to pole, with the occasional extra-bright, amber or flickering lamp. - Mixed lamp technologies: warm/neutral LED neighbourhoods with districts still on orange sodium, in natural, irregular patches. Improved - Better town detection: ring roads and outskirts of big cities are no longer left dark. - Streets are lit on the correct side, with realistic spacing per road type, and each light sits on its own pool of light. - Tunnels no longer show lights on the surface above them. - Bigger, clearer light sprites, with motorways and streets easy to tell apart. Fixed - Many industrial, commercial and sports sites had no lights in dense regions.

    I first downloaded the free London version and was impressed enough to go on and purchase the full version for MSFS 2020. It definitely adds to the visuals after dark particularly in the cities. Mostly used with a helicopter between 500 feet and 3000 feet and no noticeable hit to frame rates

    Pesky false landing zones - every tile has a notification - surely the developer flew this package in the sim before selling it? MS2024 SU4 ( tested in SU5)

    Yes, sadly that is a limitation of the method. If you have all the assistances disabled, you won't notice them except for the map on the main menu. I'm looking for ways of bypassing this but no luck yet.
