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 Arno,
Indeed that is what I mean. If I apply fx_smokestack I see it in MCX but if I apply fx_lightxxxxx I don't see it. I put 4 red light on top of my control tower, those are the lights I'm talking about. They never showed up in MCX though I can see a reddish checker.
And if I put the effect\texture path in the texture path settings then I can't see anything anymore.
The effects work fine in FS.
Hope that helps,

Hi,
By default I think you should have something like [FSXPATH]\effects\texture and [FS2004PATH]\effects\texture on your texture search path. These should make sure the effect textures are found.
Do you have both FS versions installed or only FS2004?

Correct, here is my default path:
[MCXTEMP];[FILENAME];texture;..\texture;..\..\texture;[FS2004PATH]\texture;[FS2004PATH]\scenery\global\texture;E:\Flight Simulator 9\Effects\texture;
Only FS2004.
Ok guys, my apologies for not stating the issue correctly...reason being I didn't know what the real issue is.
In fact the control tower red marker lights (on roof) are showing up in MCX however they are so small they are hidden by the little red squares that mark the position of effects.
So, maybe a rendering issue then.
