• 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.

Duration of blinking light cycle

Hi Everybody,
I am busy for quite a while building lighthouses for placement around Ireland. Not only the building itself, but I also want to add the lightcharacteristics to the lighthouse. However I am encountering a strange problem now which is: I have made a lightfx in FXEditor and as a result the light blinks 2 times during a cycle of 5 seconds. That is how it should be. I have added this fx to my model with MCX and placed it with the Wizard on the right spot.

After that I open P3Dv3 (my FS) and go to the runway of Inishmore, from where I should be able to see the lighthouse. An yes, it is there and blinking. But the strange thing is that in P3D the double blinking has a cycle of about 15 seconds. So the light blinks twice every 15 seconds, while FXEditor shows the same effect blinking twice every 5 seconds. What is going on ?? Why is the effectbehaviour in FXEditor and P3D not the same and how can I get the timing right in P3d ?

I have been discussing this matter with Mindstorm and we have not been able to solve the probleem.

Thanks for any help.
Jan

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
