• 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.

Strange effects visibility problem

Hi,

My scenery was made in airport design editor. It contains about 250 lights created with gmax that use fx_nav effects of different colours slightely modified by myself and placed as models with ADE. It also contains about 100 default ADE's apron edges light.
The problem is that I can't see 3-5 lights straight in front of aircraft which become visible only when I'm panning 65-70 degrees to right or left (vc view, spot view, ai traffic view). In top-down view I can see them all with no problem.
This happens both with ADE apron light or lights was made with gmax.

Hope my english not so bad to understand, I'll be grateful for any help.

I did some testing and at the end the problem is only in area in front of building (look at the screenshot).
- When aircraft is placed like at the screenshot I'can't see effect of the pole which is 2nd from left.
- When it placed more to the left side, then effect of the 2nd pole from right disappears.
- When aircraft placed straight in front of building all the effects are shown correctly.
- In top-down view all the effects work correct no matter where is an aircraft placed.
The building contains big glasses both on front and back side, the settings for material are:
use environment map as reflection (scale 20)
allow bloom (though I have bloom off in sim settings)
source blend - scralpha
destination blend - invscralpha
emissive mode - additivnightonly
z test alpha - checked
final alpha blend - unchecked
alpha test level - 128.902
alpha test mode - greater
z write alpha - checked
doublesided - checked
Building at the left side has no transparent materials.
