• 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.

Hi Everyone,

I am working on the proverbial "GMAX and lights" problem. My aim is to place lights on my airborne air carrier and scenery object using the OPT and a mission editor program.

I have looked at the FSD tutorial and followed the suggestions regarding the creation of lights in GMAX. I have also cloned the light object and put the DAY=1;NIGHT=0 and on the second object DAWN=1;DUSK=0.

So, here is my issue. I have successfully placed the "test light" in FSX on the ground near my home airport. The light displays correctly when FSX is in "object placement tool mode." When you close OPT however, save and reload the mission, the light disappears.

One possibility I haven't tried is to place the light away from the airport. Currently it is in grass field by the runway. I have also read about "effects"; not sure what this does to lights.

In any event, any thoughts or ideas are welcome.

Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,

John
