• 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.

I have light effects attached to a floodlight, placed with a controller, for each flood light one for night and one for dusk / dawn.

Taken over into FSX the night one is showing, the one for dusk / dawn is not.

Has anybody else made this observation?

Cheers,
Martin
 
I meanwhile see the effects at dusk / dawn as well. I have no idea if this was fixed by SP1 or something else.

Maybe it was just way too late after dusk when I made the observation and the posting.....:rolleyes:

Two XML codes

Hi, Martin

You need to load them apart, into two separates codes, one block for Dawn/Dusk and the other, Day/Night, as the example below shows:

Code: 
<!--18 - efeito sol-->
<SceneryObject
lat="-22.815572" 
lon="-42.090909" 
  alt="0.0000M"
  altitudeIsAgl="TRUE"
  pitch="0.00"
  bank="0.00"
  heading="223.9"
  imageComplexity="NORMAL">
  <Effect
    effectName="sbes_lamp_D"
    effectParams="DAWN=1;DUSK=1;"
  />
</SceneryObject>


<!--01 - efeito noturno-->
<SceneryObject
  lat="-22.8213678865642"
  lon="-42.0962355455454"
  alt="0.0000M"
  altitudeIsAgl="TRUE"
  pitch="0.00"
  bank="0.00"
  heading="43.9"
  imageComplexity="NORMAL">
  <Effect
    effectName="sbes_lamp_N"
    effectParams="DAY=0;NIGHT=1;"
  />
</SceneryObject>

José

Hi Jose,

Yes, that is what I have done and what worked well in FS9. And as I said in my last post, now it is working in FSX also.

I have no idea why it failed when I made my posting. Maybe it was loading a flight and then changing the time....

Cheers,
Martin
