• 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.

P3D v2 Helo Deck (on ship) lighting effect

OK this is really what I am hoping to achieve here, as an objective for this effect>

And this is my first attempt that even got close.

I think I need to dial back the intensity just a little, and then I want to make the light a little 'flatter' meaning make it show up more on the deck and in a big bright ball.

What parameters am I looking for here? What do I need to modify for that?

(yes I have ready the SDK - thanks in advance - and thanks to that and some useful examples that I found, I was able to at least get this far).

Gracias! Just doing a bit of experimenting with a handful of them now. Trying to see if I can come up with something a little bit unique.


Getting closer, I think:

right very cool lighting. I use them for the scenery in development. there are also some thread about this matter here in fsdeveloper but difficult to find them.for the ship maybe you have to modify the night textures , some reflections and such, good luck

Actually I think for it to work, you need to have platforms on the ship... which I do, generally. Certainly I have platforms for the heli decks.

Anyway, getting there.
