• 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.

FSXA Aircraft beacon/beacon splash issue

Hello kind folk, I will apologize in advance for the long post but here goes,

I am trying to create a beacon/beacon splash effect for my aircraft in FSXA DX10 project but have run into a problem, namely,
The splash is an attachpoint effect animated to remain at ground level as the aircraft climbs out and the beacon is named in the .cfg file (this is because an attachpoint effect does not emit light on the underside of the aircraft).
My first issue is that even though both .fx files are essentially the same, only different uvw coordinates, they fall out of phase after about 5 minutes on the ground.
My next issue is that if you switch off the beacon light and switch it on again, it appears that the attachpoint effect even though extinguished, continues to fire invisibly in the background so that when you switch the beacon on again, they are once again out of phase.
Are there any known workarounds for this problem. I have searched and searched but have come up with nothing. Is there any way to stop the attachpoint effect from firing once switched off or alternatively is there any way to make an attachpoint effect emit light as the
two don't seem to want to co-exist.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,
Many thanks in advance.
Regards, TJ
