• 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.

LED anti-collision animation

Hi all,

Hoping someone can steer me in the right direction, I'm trying to sort a textured LED anti-collision light in MSFS but can't for the life of me get it flashing. Not sure if I'm missing something obvious but it just isn't flashing, I have it emissive, which turns on when the beacons are selected it just doesn't flash.

Is there something I should be setting within Blender to have it flash? Ignore the face the image below has a white beacon. Any tips?? Code I'm using in the exterior xml below:

<Component ID="LED_BEACON" Node="BEACON">
<UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_GT_Material_Emissive_Code">
<EMISSIVE_CODE>(A:LIGHT BEACON ON:1,bool) 1 == if{ 400 } els{ 0 }</EMISSIVE_CODE>
</UseTemplate>
</Component>

Emissive_code outputs the amount of emissive of that component, so your code says
When the light beacon switch is on, throw emissive go 400, otherwise set it to 0
It is missing the timing when you want that to appear

Code:
<EMISSIVE_CODE>(A:LIGHT BEACON ON:1,bool) 1 == (E:ZULU TIME, seconds) 2 % 0.5 &gt; and if{ 400 } els{ 0 }</EMISSIVE_CODE>
