Hello. I designed ramplights for illuminating the apron and tried to place fx_landing.fx effects in front of the lamps. Finally I succeeded. Briefly, after creating a small plane and modify as editable mesh then you have to position it precisely and rotate correctly, because the beam is coming from the pivot of the plane towards the top edge of the plane... Then you are attaching Effect and Visibility, effect is "fx_landing.fx", visibility is "General Light".
OK I succeeded but, the effect parameters do not work. I do not want the lights during the DAY.
So for effect parameters, I inserted DAY=0;NIGHT=1;DUSK=1;DAWN=1; but DID NOT WORK, instead lights are on entire day.
Later I tried only DAY=0; again lights are on entire day.
Later I read in the forum that there is a bug, and I have to seperate, DAY+NIGHT and DUSK+DAWN.
Then I cloned the plane, for the first plane I attached the effect with parameters only DAY=0;NIGHT=1; and for the second plane the same effect with parameters only DUSK=1;DAWN=1;
again lights are ON entire day.
Finally I tried this: I did not clone the plane (mesh), but I attached the effect first with first set of parameters (DAY=0;NIGHT=1), and later attached the effect with the second set of parameters (DUSK=1;DAWN=1); to the plane (in fact it had alreay became an attachpoint) again.
Guess what? Again they are ON entire day..
Any suggestions? Please help.
