• 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 am new here and i am doing scenery of EPLL, it is airport in Poland in Lodz. I want to do 3d aproach lights system, but i don't know how to do it. I know how to build it in gmax but i don't know how to add effect and how convert it to bgl with effect. I want build lights wich onces will light in all the day and night, and want to do light of taxiways etc. How to do it? Please give me a big but easy to understand tutorial best with screensavers. And i have one more question. How to do something like that: (clic for view full size) I want use it in my other project, but it must work in scenery, when we are taxing to the gate.

Now i show you my job:

So what do you think about it??

Hi,

That is a lot of questions for one thread :). What do you mean with adding an effect to your approach lights?

For the docking system have a look at this tutorial. It requires ASM code tweaking, so it is not an easy subject.
 
i've got thah tutorail thank's but i don't know how to build it and how to do it work, so it so future now aproach lihts:

I want to do aproach lights with effect of light, but maybe is the other way to do it so if you know how, please tell me and could you rate my scenery? i want know how it look like and it is goog or bad and what i should repair :alert:

Thanks for your replay post
 
Ok as far i remember i haven't done this in ages, in gmax you create a small box and where the bottom center of that box is placed the effect will appear and in gmax you rename that effect box to BGL_LIGHT as i remember and you can change the color in gmax to suit your needs. So you have your approach light object ontop of that you place your "EFFECT BOX" and rename it to "BGL_LIGHT" and then export it like that. As far i remember to make it appear at certain times you need to do some asm tweaking. Check the wiki on how to tweak asm files. I have done the same thing some time ago so cant remember exactly how to do it. Check my screen shot page on my website http://www1.freewebs.com/ridz2018/ the first screen shot is what i think you are trying to do.
