• 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.

Attaching effect to VC poly in Blender

After some hours of research I'm still puzzled on how to attach an effect in a VC. Is it even possible? All the threads I found here mainly refer to external models to boot.

Actually I just want to attach the fx_vclight to a polygon in the VC to control it with a custom <Visibility> tag.

I read the Blender2FSX wiki, MCX correctly shows the attached effect, but no matter what, it's never visible in the sim.

What I did:
- create a tiny poly, assign material
- check the [Effects] and [Visibility] box in the toolset
- assign unique attachpoint name and effect's name (without .fx)
- attach to poly
- export

What am I missing?
 
I found a work-around using the aircraft.cfg. However, if someone finds a way to attach effects in the VC, I would still be interested!
