• 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.

Hello Guys.I have maked Approach lights in 3ds max so i put a little light effect (just texture dont from 3ds max lighting) and in MCX (modelconverterx) i set the transparency of my textured plane and he is lighting in MCX in night mode, i have putted night and day texture but in FSX he isnt lighting..some help please? I think that i say the problem so there is no need any proofs?
 
Default lights in GMAX are not included in the FS model, and I assume that 3ds max is the same. You need to attach an FSX light effect using the Attach Tool in 3ds max, or similar technique.
 
aha alright and whats the name of the approach lights i attach tool effects in 3ds max??? thank you
 
but how its work in this videoo ? I want to make approach lights but with same effects and to be more lighten...so how it works for him but for me not ?
 
That tutorial is far more detailed than I could ever get in a forum post, so I can't explain it any more clearly than that. Follow his steps again very carefully.

A few things:

1. Did you assign light.dds to the nightmap slot in ModelConverterX?
2. Did you place the light.dds texture into the adjoining texture folder (next to where you placed the BGL file)?
 
You can use textures planes using the "new lighting method". And edit the mipmaps.
 
i tryed then my texture is not transparent in mcx with same settings, it was looking like light planes but the light is same with intensity..can you give me any template? thank you
