• 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.

ALSF2 strobes, not showing up

Messages

Hi all,

So I'm trying to add ALSF2 lights to a test file and for some reason the approach strobes don't show up. MALSR on the other hand, seems to work just fine with 5 strobes.

I'm not sure why ALSF2 strobes isn't showing up.. any ideas?

Also, REIL strobes don't seem to like payware scenery. Adding those don't seem to work either.

Hi,

Have you tried swapping them and putting the ALSF2 strobes where you have the MALSR strobes and visa versa? If the ALSF2 now show up but the MALSR does not then the payware airport is probably using something like ground polygons in that area that cover up the lights. You would need to use something like Don's Airfield Lights Toolbox to create lights on top of the polygons.

Hope this helps,
 
Hi Tom, indeed I've tried swapping and trying other runways, for some reason ADE does not like ALSF2 strobes since they don't show up anywhere. Also, this test is at a 'clean' test airport with no custom objects or ground, just to be sure.
Thanks for the tip on ALT, I'll check it out.
