• 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.

lights in custom runway

Hi:

I have done one runway in Gmax (I know, this is a bad option but only I´m trying) and I want add lights(it is for fs2004 only)... How can I do this?.

I have done some test with efects lights but makeMDL give me error .... :banghead:

Is there any tutorial or guide to do this?. (Yes, I have read the users guide of microsoft SDK)


Sorry for my english.

Thanks
 
I would suggest to make runway and approach lights in AFCAD if they are suitable.
Problem of custom lights that there is no way to check limited visibility in scenery. So in day time and foggy weather it will be difficult to find runway at all. You can make light enabled 24 hours a day but it is not real too.

In some SDK there is example how to attach smoke effect to house. You can attach fx_navwhi or fx_navwhihi for white light or copy them, rename and customise as you want.

Also remember of you will use just one effect parameter with =0 (DAY=0 for example) it will couse that your effect will not appear at all. You should combine it with some =1 as well.
 
The error is:

Microsoft visual C++ Runtime library

Assertion failed!

Said me if I push retry this will be enable, but when I push close makeMDL.

Anyway, I have to find other way to aply lights to my runway, any sugestion please?.

Thanks for the replys.

(my english is bad, I know, sorry)
 
Are you trying to export only attached objects? In that case you often get such an error. Try to put them in the same scene as your visual runway.
 
Yes arno, I have tryed the two ways.

Today is good but yesteraday give me the error in two cases (only objet atached and runway with objets atached).

I think that I have to found other mode of do this, because the problem with the efects lights do lost reality at the scenery.

Thanks for all.
