• 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.

NEED HELP creating a simple light switch in virtual cockpit

Hello guys! I'm trying to modify the landing light switch on the freeware constelation aircraft in P3D v4. But I don't know how to add a working light ray and link it to the switch inside the 3d cockpit. Since the landing light is too dim so I want to add another landing light that is pointing further front so I can see the runway better. Sorry Im new to modifying aircraft in P3D and dont know much.

Thanks!

You might be able to just brighten the landing light effect by duplicating it. In MCX go to the Attached Objects Editor, and see if there are landing light effects there. If so, select one and press Duplicate. Repeat as needed for any others. Note that on my computer it takes a LONG TIME for MCX to finish this process, so wait quite a bit. You know it's done when all of the animations come back when you move the slider.

Then export the model and your lights should be twice as bright, hopefully.

Hope this helps,
