• 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.

Hi all,

I did have a look at the colour used for the landing lights in the default FS2004 models. The list below shows the colours used:

Code: 
B747:   255 254 248
B777:   128 128 128
C182:   178 178 178
KA350:  178 178 178
B206:   255 254 238
B737:   255 255 238
C208:   178 178 178
Comet:  254 251 242

Sorry, I wasn't clear when I asked "where in modelconverterX can you find the colour used for the landing lights?" .
Arno listed the colors of the default aircraft, and I was asking how can a user lookup this information?

The reason I asked the question is explained below.
If I have a user aircraft (Model A) and I prefer the brightness/colour used in Model A, how I find the numbers used in model A, so I can apply them to Model B. I was thinking, if I can find the brightness/colour numbers in model A, I could change the "light_mapping.ini" file and apply them into model B.

Hi,

You can't look them up in ModelConverterX at the moment, I looked at the decompiled SCASM code of the models to find them.

To preserve the colours during FS2004 - FS2004 conversion I do now store them in the attached effect. But when implementing that I decided to now show that attribute in the attached object editor, since you are not intended to change it. But I can probably show it readonly in that editor so that you can inspect the value in different models.

Since I was coding now anyhow, I have directly added it. Will be in the next development release.
