• 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.

MSFS20 Train spot light

Hi,
I want to put some spotlights in front of my locomotive.
In MCX I can add them easily then export the loco.
In FS2020 I see the spot effects but not the light itself.
I want to see also the light, not only is effect.
??
Thanks.
 
I try a temporary solution by making my lights symmetrical and moving them a little further from the loco.

So I can clearly see the beams in front and beautiful light spots in place of the drawing of the lights on the texture (here the upper central light is closed).

We can see the beam from behind but let's say it's an acceptable side effect...

Hi,

That's how MSFS works, it only renders the beam of the spotlight, but not the actual light itself. If you want to see the light you need to make it as geometry with an emissive material on it.
 
Thanks Arno.

I will be satisfied with my temporary solution.

Happy Holidays and thank you again for this wonderful “lifetime” gift that is this MCX!
