• 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.

P3D V3 and up has effect issues

We found that P3D V3 includes default effects like fx_strobe and fx_beacon but they do not include the texture the effects calls for. I have posted on Avsim why are beacon and strobes do not show up.

Another issue is our shockwave lights which i include a texture looks like a laser and is not even close to what it should look like. I read on a post that P3D did some major changes and i was hoping for info on how i can fix my shockwave lights.

Update:

I think i was wrong about missing textures as a customer did not have them but it may be because of a add on that removed them.

P3D made a change to how light effects work. They scale based on the camera distance which was to make the AI improved. This makes products like jets with flames and shockwave lights scale too small. I heard they will be fixing this in the next version. I hope so as this was a bad idea.:mad:
