• 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.

Apron Lighting with Ground Polys

What method is recommended to light up the apron ground? Should the "light" be incorporated with the apron texture or should it be its own texture and polygon that is placed on top of the apron? I know method one requires extensive planning so if that's the viable option how would you figure out where there is lighting? Also wouldn't you need a separate texture for night then? And wouldn't the file be gigantic if the apron was huge? For the second version, wouldn't it bleach out the bottom layer? Hopefully this was not too confusing.
 
There is no definite answer for this, I think personally. You need to try by yourself and see if it works for you. This is my work at ZBAA. It is light texture over ground poly.
