• 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.

Good idea the grid, and I want to hack the post, could someone say me what is this, an effect, an object or what ? I'll atach an image. and how can be tweaked to have two white beam colour and not white and green as actually is, would be a good lighthouse light, I think his name is air_beacon_glow, or something so, but can't find this anywhere. sorry but are things that are weird for me

Maybe yes, as I can only visualize this is in sbuilderx, and seem be asociated to the object of the same name, anyway a little confusing, this would be a good effect for a lighthouse.
 
As far as I can see, apparently is a scenery object but with two attachpoint, and two effects ( fx_beaconwhi, and fx_becong ),I could localize the file, almost sure it's "air_beaconlightland_glow" and his textures conelight.DDS, and conelight_LM.DDS, all is in Scenery/global/airportobjects.well, al least some mistery have been cleared up .
 
The things were a little more complicated, someone made a xml file to put this beacon in fsx, but he use some kind of code or tweak, and is imposible to know what he made, to change the beacon with the two colours beam was easy, but almost imposible to get a rotating beacon in fsx, the only way would be to swap those beacon for this I modified in all sceneries, no way, so would be better make one in gmax whit his animation. but the treat here was to save time and work, so we are in the same road.:cool:
