FSX 3D Lights?

[lewis]

Hi guys,

I have been trying but with little luck, to make good 3D ground lights for fsx.
I'd like to make some like those in the image below using fsds, how would I make a texture like that? and how would I make it transparent in the day?

Any help appreciated,

thanks

I think that's what you are looking for:

it deals with the creation of a taxiway light but it contains the procedure you need to follow to create such lights.


Hope this helps

Thanks, I guess it could be appliable to the aircrafts that is on what I am interested, 3d lights for airplanes.

I wonder if the same technique would work for runway lights, as I can't get them to show up at a distance with anything other than SCASM.

what about mip map brightening?

I was actually suggested to take mip-maps out, which lead to the suspected results (they disappeared 50ft away).

that should be exactly what you need to get lights in the distance.
