• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Is that the blinking light which is done just through the texture? If yes, how????

I have used the light texture one-one blend. But the model behind it has to be default opaque. Then I animated the light texture with 18 frames of time. The first frame is on the right side and last frame is on the left side. Then copy position of the first frame to the 2nd-7th frame and copy the position of the last frame to 8th-16th frame. So the light will jump to only position one and two only. It looks like the light just turn on and off alternately on the left and right light bulb.

I almost done with my project. I have edited the night light texture and the last work is the night light on photoscenery. Then all the objects are done. Only checking some mistakes and bugs. Here are the night light scenes around the airport:

Some more pictures. It is hard to find the real airport photos during the night time with good exposure. So, most of them are my fictions that it should be like this. If you have found any mistakes, please feel free to give a comment with some good photos would be really appreciated.

@jtanabodee Tic, this project is looking good!
I'm looking forward to its release.

One question for you; do the surrounding trees and the airport ground textures change with the seasons?
That was a notable criticism of the ZBAA scenery created by another developer.

Yes, both trees and ground change with season. Ground changes by photoscenery and trees change with SODE.
 
I have added ground poly with night texture on it. It will give more smooth night lights and good blend with the light texture from light poles. Some place without light poles like in front of those hangars can have lighting on the ground too.

Looking great! Which method did you use for the runway lights? The SCASM method or it's just the default runway's lights from the afcad?

SCASM method is what I used. I have tried the light texture with the light pole on the runway but the visibility is poor even after editing the mipmap textures. The default lights cannot get through custom made ground poly.

Have you looked into implementing dynamic lighting for P3D V4 ? Have you come across any issues with existing night textures (they look pretty good btw) against dynamic lighting of P3D V4?
Click to expand...
I haven't tried that yet. But I will do dynamic lighting later.

i hope to hear the runway / taxi / approach lights are activated by SODE conditional visibility ... at night but in low daytime visibility.

it would be a huge step for all to have that.

I have tried that but the visibility of the lights are so poor. I think this method might be good for the small airport, not the airport such this big.
