• 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.

Hello everone,
I am new to the forum. I wanted to say hello! : D Sorry if I write in the wrong section.
we do the scene and made an apron and set up to three lamps made in SketchUp. They gently lit under the influence of added Convecter model X. I wish illuminated the entire apron. I mean, I want to shine like this: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/attachments/light-jpg.25972/
Drzewiecki project to make it the Ground Polygon. How to do it ? Please
Something must be done in Photoshop? If it was me? Please

Good point, Jakub

Ok, thanks.
I do not know how to handle GMAX. It is for me a very complicated: /

It is a YT video that shows how to make lighting apron?

Absolutely not, it has nothing to do with CAD. It has to do with texture settings which can be handled trough programs such as MCX.
The apron splash is a color (of your choice) that fades to a black background on a lightmap. The day texture is just pure black. No alpha is used.
Then apply the correct "texture recipe" on MCX and voi'la. The recipe is described on one of the links above, or just use the one below.

I made these with Sketchup. It is not difficult.

Do note, on P3D you will need to edit the MDL on MCX to add an empty LOD.

Cheers,
David

But as the texture you do? And what to do to work with P3D? You can be a little brighter?

Could somebody points to write how to do it? Starting from making texture. I have P3Dv3
