We have always thought that lightpoint intensity was a big enough
issue to include it in our standand feature list. It seems
that for flight simulation applications the power and size of
lightpoints provide important visual cues. Based on this some
of our products have included lightpoint perspective growth to
give realistic lightpoint presentations.
