• 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 all
I would like to know if someone could tell me how to create an array of bright edge in FSDS 3.5.1 , I already try a whole thing but nothing works until the .
I'm looking to do a bright illumination for night flying , which gauges the only enlightened or at least the play on which come to put the gauges .
For this I differente questions.
Following different tutorial that I followed and applied my room did not enlightened .
Firstly, after the explanations provided in the folder using FSDS3.5.1 , it indicates that for the lighting of the dashboard , it must once have creates pieces Panel light switch , layer alpha must be white . Is this correct?
Then they must be the property of the material used ?
The texture should it have a number of specific pixel in because it seems that the light texture should be 256 pixel, is this correct ?
On after the tutorials I've seen it seems textures must be reversed on the Y axis, but it does it say that Y axis of the room must be particular place so that it works ?
I 'm sorry to ask you all this, but I tried so many things and the final is not working I'm a bit lost , totally see .

Thanking you in advance for your light.
 
Farfy might be able to help here better than me. However, what do you mean by reverse on the y axis? do you mean flipping the texture up side down? You do this only if you are going to turn your bmp texture into a dds. Open bmp in the program called dxtbmp, in the menu choose flip then AFTER that save as a dds. You can also do this with image tool which will flip it for you as you save as dds.
the rest of your question is dealing with panel lights for a flyable aircraft. This I do not know. bob
 
Hi,

No, you do flip the night texture upside down, even if it is a BMP. But I do not know how to create VC lighting with FSDS.
 
gib- I've never had to flip night textures as bmps. Maybe I've missed that for years but never had any problem. Hmmmm! Bob
 
Have you created night textures for VC gauge lighting? That's the only time you flip.
 
no haven't so if I ever get into learning how to do panels and their lights.... this is very good to know.l thanx. Bob
