I can't seem to find this particular Library Object..I have been thru all 115 mdl's and the airport object bgl and in LOM...I search and not there. Could you illuminate me I don't need to be rotated.
Correct - ADE does not currently support attached elements but it is on the listEasily done in the DevMode... I don't think it can be done in the ADE. And it might not show in the DevMode,
Object: "AS_EDJA_Beacon"If someone out there has successfully created a working model of a rotating beacon, (And I'm guessing here from some of the inputs of the thread), then why don't "they" offer it as a library object so "we" can simply add it to our own creations?
Just sayin....

Object: "AS_EDJA_Beacon"
GUID: {CD6EA24C-7D9F-4E9F-B390-2ED643EF7889}
Package: "microsoft-airport-edja-allgau"
When I last updated my Essen/Mülheim Airport EDLE, I added the so-called "Asobo Beacon Light" to the tower. the light is visible in fog and has great visibility.
In the first step you create a dummy object in your 3D model and call it attachpoint_beacon, for example:

In the next step you reference the dummy object with the same name in your XML placement file:
<!--SceneryObject name: mh_flughafen_tower (Beacon)-->
<SceneryObject parentGroupID="8" groupIndex="18" lat="51.40647299999826" lon="6.93854500000000" alt="0.00000000000000" pitch="0.000041" bank="-0.000041" heading="135.000000" imageComplexity="VERY_SPARSE" altitudeIsAgl="TRUE" snapToGround="TRUE" snapToNormal="FALSE">
<LibraryObject name="{59589256-FB71-4D94-99D8-953DC12312BE}" scale="1.000000"/>
<AttachedObject attachpointName="attachpoint_beacon" instanceId="{42910FFC-EEF5-43B1-A0F6-AEB885F7B95A}" pitch="0.000000" bank="0.000000" heading="0.000000">
<Beacon type="CIVILIAN" baseType="AIRPORT"/>
</AttachedObject>
</SceneryObject>
The referencing can also be done in the Scenery Editor, where you only have to use the tower as a beacon light object. It's called Replace Beacon Light Model, or something like that.

This model is in the scenery library and we add it using the DevMode Scenery Editor. You can just search "beacon" and add the EDJA one, or navigate to the package. Using ADE, you'd have to find it in the scenery library and I don't really know that route.Well, that's not exactly what I meant, but appreciate the reply. (How do I acquire your beacon? Is the lighting "correct"?)
About
Here is a categorized list of default assets to be used by scenery developers. Mainly buildings are included.
The objects belong to the Premium Deluxe version of MSFS 2020, actualized until 40th anniversary.
Only sceneries from Microsoft and Asobo were utilized.
This is a complement of the excellent work made by FlyBoyRez1.
Hope it will be useful.
