• 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.

Static Effect disappears

Hi!

I used couple effects for light poles. Both are static ones.
One for lamp and one for spot on ground.
It works fine if you start your flight in this scenery and comming back after the flight.

But it suddenly dissappears if the scenery is destination airport and you came from another one far away.

Can somebody advise what could be a problem?

Thank You!

P.S. I used fx_navwhih and slightely edited fx_dotwhite effects.

I have the same problem with my lights (no wonder - I'm using the same effect file as you :rolleyes: ): Started at EDDF to EDDB and arriving there, I saw no effect ...

Do you have a solution?

EDIT: I placed the "smoking house" from the SDK tutorial on my scenery. I started about 80 nm from my airport and when I arrived, the chimney was smoking, but the lights were off :mad:
Even with 14 nm starting distance - the same!


Explored a bit more ... VERY STRANGE! :eek: :eek: :eek: :confused: :confused: :confused:
Can anyone call Scully and Molder?

I changed
[Emitter.0]
Lifetime=0.50, 0.50
to

[Emitter.0]
Lifetime=900, 900

And started 14nm away. There are several lights on my airport and when I arrived, the ones nearest to my departure airport where SHINING BRIGHT and the ones further away where off :yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :yikes:

When I started 75 nm away, all lights were off.

Turned back to

[Emitter.0]
Lifetime=0.50, 0.50
and also with starting distance 14nm all light were off :scratchch :scratchch :scratchch :scratchch :scratchch

Changed to
[Emitter.0]
Lifetime=2000, 2000

and now there are all dark again even with 14nm starting distance ...

By the way - the chimney is still puffing :censored: :censored:


CAN ANYONE SOLVE THIS?

try changing lifetime to 0.00, 0.00 which i believe the effect stays on all the time. just make sure for each emitter section of your file is changed
