• 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.

FS2004 Gmax plane getting the in way (bug?)

Just as I thought everything was getting underway smoothly I hit another bump. I found out the problem of why my BGL Light on top of my taxiway light was not showing up. When I move it out of the area of my gmax textured plane it appears, however when I move it back onto the plane it disappears. My plane is layered 8 and taxiway is layered 20 in Model Converter X. The light shows up on some parts of the plane only. Has anyone ever seen this before? I do not have an exclude.

Hi,

I don't remember seeing this before, but I also never used attached objects in such situations.

Well I was up until 5am and found out that it is not the plane and the taxiway, I removed both from the scenery and the light still refused to show. I'm about to dump the BGL Light all together. Arno what do you recommend for 3d Taxiway lights? Effects? But I though you could not attach effects in gmax for it to show up in FS9.

Thanks, Ryan
