• 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 problems with apron light effects

Hi,
I made an apron light effect using the landing light as the effect and have several problems:
1-The light effect is showing all day, night, dusk and dawn.Notice that I used the cloning technique and added the (day=0; night=1) into one attached object and (dusk=1; night=1) into another and exported the file to fsx. So I don't know how that is possible?

2-When I copy the fx_landing and rename it to something like fx_apronlight, the effect does not work as a light spot anymore; Instead it becomes a point light.

3-The apron lights are flickering a lot at night.

4-FPS drop up to 10 with the effects.

Is there any other methods to add apron lights. I've also tried using the ground polys with a uv_unwrap and transparent layer. It was supposed to be transparent all day and semi transparent with the light spot on it at night. I used DXT1 for the day texture and DXT5 for the night one. It does not take into account the transparency.
Thanks for your help
