• 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.

Self-Illumination at day?

Hi everyone,

I searched the forum w/o any result so I hope this hasn't been answered before.

Is it possible to create a self-illuminating texture (similar to night texture) that shows up in daytime?
(I use gmax + middleman + makeMDL)

Thanks in advance,

Lars
 
Yes, simply create a material that uses "one" in both source and destination blend. This way the material is "added" to the pixels below. It's like "additional" self illumination.
 
That's fine for FSX, but not possible in FS9 using MakeMDL.exe

For that you might try appending the BRIGHT_ prefix to the Material name...
 
So all I have to do is, name an object "BRIGHT_objectname" ?

I will try it. Isn't it possible to have some kind of light-map applied? Similar to the "name_L.bmp" textures?
