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.

A few possibilities:
Your alpha is in your transparent material correctly ... worth checking the dds textures are intact... but in this case you would still get the approach light effects showing.
The ref point is not abnormally high on the terrain, thus burying your object
You are placing AMSL (ie relative to ground, not at an absolute height)
The scenery library is active in the FSX Scnery Library entries (yes, I know sounds obvious)
The longitude / lattitude in your xml file are correct (polarity and notation) -- doesn;t apply if using Instant Scenery or similar.
No active EXCLUDEs in the area.
Probably a whole lot of other things too.

While going through your list, i found the problem.
A. i forgot to but the controller effect in the effects folder of FSX -.-
B. When placing the texture in 3Ds Max i used a flipped png instead of the DDS (allready had that texture) and i thought when i export it and tell the exporter to use DDS, it will use the dds-version of the texture. But i looked in the object information in MCx and it showed eddl3.png ... so now i changed the material to the eddl3.dds in 3ds Max (wrong display in 3ds) and it works.
