• 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.

Runway Lights Disappearing

I'm sorry if this has already been discussed. I spend awhile searching through the forum and didn't find one if it's there.

The problem I'm seeing is 100% consistent. Anytime I edit and compile any airport BGL, I lose all runway lighting at all airports. Approach lights, PAPIs, edge/center..they're all gone. I do not notice any other problems other than runway lights.

I use Active Sky Advanced (ASA) with X Graphics. I suspect that this is somehow related. When you load a flight plan into ASA, it compiles weather information and then installs a snapshot of textures from X Graphics based on the average weather along the route. The textures that are installed include clouds, sun, moon, airport background, roads, runways, apron, etc.

When I have this problem (no runway lights), I can go into ASA and manually install a texture snapshot and that fixes the problem. However, the next time I compile a BGL, they're gone again.

Hi Fi Simulations (creators of ASA and X Graphics) state that the textures are all installed using the default filenames and don't seem to know why it would be causing a problem.

Any thoughts what's going on here would be appreciate. Since I can recover by reinstalling an XG graphics snapshot in ASA, this isn't a showstopper, but enquiring minds want to know...

Thanks!

FSX SP2
ADE 1.40.09
 
Very odd since ADE does not do anything with any textures that I know of. There are no textures and no calls to any textures in the standard bgl format and file.
