• 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.

FSX Apron illumination problems

Hello :)

I want to illuminate some areas of the apron with a effect. I already built a small invisible object and attached my effect at the center of the object. After placing it in FSX it looks very nice but unfortuneately in some angles the light (effect) disappears. For example when I move the view in a virtuell cockpit a little bit to the left the effect disappears

Does anybody know a way to awoid this?

Thanks in advance,
Holger
 
May be it is Virtual Cockpit bug. Try without it.. Switch to 2D panel (F10), then disable 2D window for better view and then try to move from side to side.. If it is ok, then see Aircraft developer.
 
Thank you!

Virtual Cockpit was just an example. I have it in all kind of views. It is my first try to do a apron light in that way, probably I did something wrong here? I just created a small circle, made it invisible and attached the effect.
 
Make two 'light emitting' circles and place them perpendicular to each other. Then, as you turn, the surfaces will remain active and not have an 'off' position. Just a thought from days gone bye.
