• 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.

Hey guys, I posted this in the gmax forum as well, because it partially pertains to gmax, and the solution may be found there, but here it is...

I used gmax to attach some 3D lights to some lamp posts around an airport, and the result is very nice.

However, as I move several miles away from the airport, the nice points of light start flickering and it's very noticeable. Is there any way to decrease the distance at which the lights show up?

These are custom light effects. I can either tweak settings in gmax, or the effect itself.
 
Use LODs to inhibit display of the object & attached effect at x distance, and display object only at greater distance?
