What is this - alien fire or?

Was on a night flight from KDEN to KDFW - closing up on waypoint VKTRY (start of STAR VKTRY2 into KDFW runway 18L) I saw this strange pattern of light dots (either vertical or horizontal - hard to tell).

Anybody experienced a similar issues?

I have ORBX Global Base pack, Global Trees HD, Global Vector and Global OpenLCNorthAmerica installed.

And it is P3D V5 with latest A320 v5.0.1.105.

I'd move the time preview slider to "day" and try to identify what's in there, it might be some sort of scenery error.

I did try, but could see nothing explaining the phenomena.

Will report the issue in the Orbx support forum to see if they have a solution/suggestion. Probably also try the P3D forum.

I raised the issue in the Orbx Forum, and got the same solution here, but renaming the file to something else than BGL also remove towers and other stuff.

It indeed seems to be two antenna objects from the Hazards.bgl library so renaming Hazards.bgl to Hazards.bgl.off should do the trick.
Keep in mind though that that'll mean that the other objects in the Hazards library won't show up either so I'd suggest to make a backup, open Hazards.bgl in ModelConverterX and Remove the two tower objects from the library in the Scenery Obects Editor as shown below and re-export the BGL to replace the old one.

Don't forget the backup though. I haven't tried it myself and cannot confirm first hand that it works but I see no reason for it to not work.

Edit: I forgot to mention: the Hazards.bgl is located at [...]\Prepar3D v5\Scenery\Global\scenery

Hi Sven, thanks for the suggestions but I'll just wait for LM to fix it - it may take some time but it's not a showstopper to me.

Sure thing. Just left this here for anyone who might stumble upon the issue in the future. :)

Which version did you use? I downloaded version 1.3, but have no idea on how to reproduce the data shown in your picture. Can't find the Scenery Objects Editor you mention.

It's this symbol right next to the Import button.
