• 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.

    ADE Wish List

    I understand that the manual of ADE has terminated at version 1.65. Now I see that in the meanwhile version 1.78 has arrived and I wondered if it is possible to have an updated manual for this beautiful program.

    Duration of blinking light cycle

    Maybe I have not been specific enough in my asking: I see that over 40 people have seen this post, but no one reacted up to now. My only question is how to shorten the cycle time of the effect in P3D form 15 secs to 5 secs ? I hope that there is someone who can answer this question.... :scratchch

    When I start P3Dv3 and go to the location of the lighthouse I can see my lighthouse with the light effect nicely but there is one strange thing. The lighthousecharacter is Fl 2 W 5s, which means 2 white flashes every 5 seconds, as far as I know. In FXEditor the effects shows this cycle...

    Tutorial making effects

    I have been struggling with making effects for Prepar3Dv4 for about 1 year now. I opened effects with FXEditor and changed one or more properties to see how this might influence the appearance of the effect. This trial and error approach has resulted in some effects that I use in my sceneries...

    Lighthouse light iso white red fx

    OK hgschnell, I fully understand what you are saying. In the coming days I will revive my Sketchup model and attach some solid parts to cover the sectors.

    FXEditor update

    Hi Arno, I noticed that the button Save As in FXEditor does not work. I assume, that there should be a possibility to load a existing fx, make soms changes and then save as with another name. But nothing is happening when I click on the Save as button. Is this my mistake somewhere ?

    Hi GaryGB and Arno, Thank you very much for helping me with this issue. I never realised that I should start in SketchUp to indicate the location of the model. I just made a model from pictures and after that I positioned the model with ModelConverterX. I made a Dutch translation of the...
