• 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.

Approach lights help

Hope this is the right place for this topic.
I have Aerosoft's Antarctica X installed and the approach lights at McMurdo (NZWD, NZPG, Etc) bases were
working properly
I hadn't flown there for many months and now the approach lights (rabbit) are not working. The Approach
Lighting assemblies are all present and the scenery looks great otherwise >> The PAPI and runway end lighting
all work normally. I've tried `bout everything I can think of to get the running rabbit to run; but no joy thus far.
I've been to Aerosoft and they've been very responsive but we haven't been able to figure this one out.

Ken, is this scenery you developed with AFLT or is it something developed by Aerosoft? Since all the other lights are working, I'd be inclined to review what I had done that might affect whatever version of Flightsim you are using in the many months since you last "flew" there.

Hi Don,
Actually, I recently downloaded AFLT and planned to (re)create / replace the non functional McMurdo approach lighting with it. But thought I'd make another attempt to recover the missing lights that
are part of the Aerosoft AntarcticaX add-on scenery first. And you are correct regarding approach lighting at other FSX airports. I tested this all over the Los Angeles area.
AntarcticaX has a small utility that can be run separately from FSX while FSX is not running. This utility enables/disables certain features and seasons. Lighting is one of the features and I'm wondering if
perhaps the utility is not 100% working. It's changing the seasons and other things as expected, but the approach lighting stays off.

I know nothing about Aerosoft's products. To what utility are you referring? What is its connection to AFLT?

The utility has no connection to AFLT Don. It is a small utility that's included with the AntarcticaX package that allows for changing seasons, enabling / disabling
the runway lights, enabling / disabling static aircraft and setting LOD radius to 8.5 and back to 6.4 as desired (necessary ~: ) It's called AntarcticaX Config. Tool.
I've attached a screen cap of the UI.

OK. This being the AFLT support forum, I just assumed AFLT was involved.
