• 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.

Hi. I'm almost done with the lights on my scenery but I have an annoying problem since yesterday.
I created two effects:
-1 One for the taxiway centerline lights (I changed the color in the effect file to green). 542 objects (attach points effects)
-2 Another for runway edge lights White color. (279 attach points objects)
My problem is that they cannot show together on FSX. Only one can show at a time. I have to bgl files for them. I also included the effect.cfg file into my effect folder.
So does anyone know what is the problem? Is there another limitation on the number of effects?
I also had a problem earlier but I solved it, I hope it can help someone. When making the taxisign of the airport I had at first to many polygons and It wouldn't show at all on fsx. But I've found that by reducing them up to by half they were visible on fsx.
I really need to fix this before starting making the buildings and other stuffs!
Thanks for your help

It looks like I've solved the problem. I finally used one bgl file instead of the two. The total number of attached effects was 821. After merging the two gmax files I somehow had duplicates that I managed to delete. Maybe there is script for that?
But I have more light effects to add to the scenery and I hope it's gonna show on fsx. :)
Edit: It worked with a total of 1030 attached effects on one bgl!
