• 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.

Sorry for this question just Id like to know how to solve it (I have no experience in this). The plane has as default lighting in VC permanently always "ON" (they arent textures but lighting effect in cockpit), so for example like this (during the day too, looks like a bug for me):

7cfFu7R9gsghhHTv7XWiezCZoC9gDcCn6HPC9fKCnNjt63-e0MKUV3BA_iuUyopYyl1gsXrUuNAMcGJQgKObGJ_h8DCco12B-gKNioTSYPSdBw


Where I can find this effect? In Panel cfg, aircraft cfg? What do You think? P3Dv5.1. Any idea? Id like disable it permanently. ☺️

Looks like an .fx file from what you are saying. Check the aircraft.cfg [lights] and [smoke] sections - depends where the developers have put it.

Thank You Dragon for reply. In Smoke section I dont see something for lights, i LIGTS section I see this:

[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing

light.0 = 3, -61.30, 0.2, 2.3, fx_navwhi ,
light.1 = 1, -56.59, 0.00, 13.55, fx_beaconh ,
light.2 = 4, -8.50, 0.00, 3.80, fx_vclighth,
light.3 = 3, -27.77, 0.0, 5.48, fx_navwhi ,
light.4 = 3, -17.70, 0.0, -4.150, fx_navwhi,
Click to expand...

But when I remove fx_vclighth this light is still there. Looks like hard coded in model :(?

I suspect that the "light" you see is coming from the panel.cfg for the VC. Look fo an _LM.bmp texture file.
