• 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.

How to make the effect rotate, I créate a light beam for a lighthouse and attached a pair of fx, it seem not work, I attached the effect with Mcx tool. you can see the light beam rotate while the fx stay static. Once attached the effect to any aimated object should it move along with the object ?
Anyway I suspect the procedure was not correct. should I attach the effect in Gmax.
By the way. the adding of Lods for long distance visibility as state the wiki (http://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=Increasing_effect_visibility_distance) is appliable to this lighthouse.

To the best of my knowledge effects can't move in any way. That's the reason why effect lights fail as position lights for swept or flex winged aircraft.

From mobile hence short
 
All right thanks. I thoght on the airplanes when considering to attach some effects to the beacon. let we will see
May be I will use just two rotating planes. the second priority is to get those lights be visible from much more far away.
