• 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.

FSXA Multiple light objects - Export ERROR

Hope its the last post I make for a while....been posting a lot of questions lately.

I created a lamp and attached a light effect on it in order to use it for runway lighting.

If I export just one lamp, everything's ok....however...if I try to export more than one lamp or an array of lamps, I get the following error (image attached).

Is there a fix for this?

Thank you all for all the help!

Hi,

You need to make sure the names of the attachpoints are unique. So if you copy your object you need to edit the attachpoint name as well. You can do that in the object properties or just apply the attached object again.
 
That means there's a lot of work to be done...as I will have to do that for every single lamp in my airport! We're talking about 100+ objects.
Thanks Arno, I will try it anyway.

Arno, thank you so much for this. I'm going to try that script in my project.

One last thing: do you happen to know the name of the default FSX runway light effect...and also how I can assign those lamps to be on only during dusk, night and dawn ?

Thank you for all the help!

Hi Peter,

The default runway lights are not effects as far as I know. Those lights are somehow hardcoded into the scenery engine and we can't reproduce them.
 
Alright, I get it.

Thanks anyways, I'll see what I can attach to my lamps then.

Best regards,

Peter
