📋 About This Mod
Many NPC-exclusive aircraft (Namely UAVs) lack blue color inputs in their MREC textures, which controls emissive effects. I've modified some of the most glaring issues (AV-8B, KC-10), but checking all of them would have taken too much time.
This mod should be compatible with texture mods that use Custom MREC and Normal Map Filepaths package in Template Repository.
- Texture mods MUST overwrite this mod in load order.
Aircrafts in cutscenes use player models, where available. The emissive effect will not be present in those cases.
Has no effect in multiplayer.
A compact visual mod for DCS World that enables emissive lighting effects on NPC aircraft, leaving player aircraft untouched. With 135 endorsements and 2,742 downloads, it's a niche but appreciated tweak for those wanting more realistic lighting on AI planes. Last updated in February 2022.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 135 endorsements and 2,742 downloads
- Focused tweak that doesn't touch your own plane
- Lightweight material mod, easy to install
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022 — may not work with the latest DCS updates

For DCS World players who want AI aircraft to look more realistic with emissive lights, especially in night missions or screenshots. Skip if you're looking for changes to your own aircraft or if you prefer gameplay mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod folder in your DCS World 'Mods' directory to activate it.
- Since it's a material mod, it should work with most aircraft, but test with your favorite AI planes.
