• 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.

Runway Lights question

Hello!
After hours and hours of trial'n'error, I think I can say that default runway lights in P3D are embedded somewhere in the 3D.
For example changing halo.bmp do not affect runway lights (as in fsx does).
Excluding EVERY textures in P3D folders do not switch off them, and I can always see them.

So how can i change the default runways lights?

Just to chime in, I remember messing around with the halo.bmp texture to adjust some lights and they did affect runway lights. Now maybe it was like v2.1 or something and now at v2.4 perhaps that does not work anymore. But I do remember being able to make the lights smaller. But with v2.4 I have had to make .fx adjustments with the light strobes so maybe that shows they are changing up things a bit.

thanks for your contribution. v2.4 runways lights are no more affected by halo.bmp.
i think i can say the lights are embedded in the scenery model of the runways.
the very sad thing is that P3D with every new update is going to be less moddable, or at least more difficult, each time.
