• 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.

Hi everyone,
Im in trouble again with BGL lights.. Followed all tutorials for Gmax (Gamepack FS9 and FS8) and Airport for Windows program.
I just wonder why I cannot get any ASM file generated by GMAX as per this tutorial (How to Create a PAPI-4 Approach Lighting System) ?

Another tutorial that looks very good to me - no joy (Light over Ground Poly)(SOLVED)


Could anyone help me with this ? May be some video tutorial so I can see where I have mistaken I really need to get out of this trouble. Here is a thread to "Project Recruiting" too.. Im so dissapointed with this, that I'm ready to pay.


Thanks in advance.

Should be a simple matter of adding "Keep=1" under [Options] in your makemdl.cfg. That would be in the gmax\gamepacks\fs2004\plugins folder if you're exporting with the FS9 gamepack. I reckon you tried this? I have a working FS9 gamepack installation and I know mine will save the .asm because I did it just a few days ago, I can export a .mdl from your gmax file and send you the .asms if all else fails.

Jim,
At this time Im on testing mode of lights and cannot provide any model to make asm from.. You know just simple boxes like here. I reckon better is to try your FS9 gamepack if you could share it over DropBox or in PM ? If still doesnt work then Ill post the stuff I want to be done here in the thread. I had a look in MKMDL.cfg and this is what i found
Code: 
[Settings]
LastDir=C:\gmax\meshes
:D So nothing like "Options" there..
 
Ok, Got it ! ASM generated. I added your "Keep=1" under [Options]. will see how it goes now.
Thanks Jim :teacher::laughing:
 
Yes I have got them.. Big thanks Jim. I nearly lost any hope to get the stuff running... So I will try to get any light to show first and then calculations. :wizard:
