• 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.

Creating a light effect

I want to create my own set of light point effects for my scenery, like for street lamps and such. How do I do that?
 
Still working on them :P That's what this is for... some neat street lights and stuff.

And I'm not looking to make a ground illumination, rather a point of light, like the kind they use in the Ultimate Terrain addon
 
Start out by making a copy of navwhite.fx (or some such named file), save it with a new filename...

Open the .fx file with Notepad.exe and have a whack at it! :twocents:

Ohhhhhhhh, while I know little about the process involved, the developer has mentioned that the night time lights were made with "old-style" code. You could contact him at the Flight1 forums, seems like a nice guy. ;)


Good luck on finishing the scenery project. Though I thought I saw someone mention "that irritated me a little bit, because this thing has been in the works for three years now." :D
