• 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.

Flashing red radio tower lights

Hello all,

Im new here but have been watching these forums for a while. What a great bunch of helpfull people here! I have question.......My friend and I are making a model of the High Point Monument in Sussex County New Jersey, the model has turned out brilliantly, however, we are trying to get the correct red light on the top of it. The one that is on the top of stock FS9 radio towers is the one we need, but do not know the name of the effect.

For an interim light, I have attached a standard aircraft rotating beacon just make sure everything was working properly, and it is. So, all we need is the name of the effect that controlls the light on the radio towers.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Justin
 
OK,


Just in case you wanted to know, fx_obslight.fx is the correct effect for these avoidance beacons.


Now....Another question,:rolleyes: what are the approptriate lines to add to make the light work at dusk, dark, and dawn?:confused:


Thanks


Justin
 
hi Justin,

for fs9 you will have to place TWO effects on the same location:

in the XML-code for the first one you will have to tweak the string "effectparameters=<>" to "effectparameters=<DAY=0;NIGHT=1>"

in the XML-code for the second one you will have to tweak the string "effectparameters=<>" to "effectparameters=<DAWN=1;DUSK=1>"

That's all
