• 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.

Problem with attahment lights effects

Hello to all,
This is a request for assistance from the experts: I am in the process of totally redoing L67 Rialto Miro Field, which is due to close in the not too distant future. To make a long story

short, I am having a problem with the steady red Obstruction light effect (fx_lightObsRedSteady.fx, and fx_obslight2.fx) displaying at night when the computer time and the FSX sim time

are the same i.e. DAWN, DUSK OR NIGHT. When the computer time is set to day time then the steady light effect works correctly (dawn, dusk, night). However if computer time is

set to dusk or dawn, then the dusk/dawn display does not show. The strange thing is that this only seems to occur at L67 airport. To elimimate and rework I have done, I created a duplicate of the default afcad and only added a mdl to the model file in ADEX. I also did the same thing for stock KSBD (25 miles distant) and everything works correctly at that
airport. The mdl I am using is a test item try and identify the cause. I need to add numerous red obstacle hazard lights to several walls. The test afcad files do not require any additional textures and the posts are not texture mapped. Each one of four posts has two attachments one for day/night and another for dawn/dusk. The blinking light effects work without any problems and it is only the steady lights that are displaying as described. The effects were attached using the FS Tools in GMAX.
This has me stumped. Any help would be appreciated. The bgl files for both the airports are available.

Thanks for the responses or did I not explain enough in detail. I have done a workaround so that the obstacle lights are working except that they have a split second blink.

Regards,
Richie
 
I understood it, but I have no idea why it would not work at only one airport...
 
Thanks Tom for the reply. If you would like a copy of the two files I can email them to you. It is perplexing not know what the root of the problem is.

Regards Richie
