• 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.

Effect placement with parameters

Tried to place an effect adding some parameters (DAY=0; NIGHT=1;).
When parameters are entered, the effect does not render (without parameters it shows up alright).
The xml code in raw view seems ok.
Could you please provide some help on this?
(FSX, ADE 1.55.4860)
 
On the effect properties page, set DAY=0,NIGHT=1 in the "Parameters" box.



Note. The effect will be visible only during the night. If you wish it to be visible at dawn/dusk, you need to create a duplicate effect placemednt.
 
Looks like it is a syntax issue.
I tried (DAY=0; NIGHT=1;)-as in xml examples- and (DAY=0 NIGHT=1) and (DAY=0; NIGHT=1).

I will try (DAY=0, NIGHT=1) as George is advising and report back.
 
Solved...with an embarrassment:o

The location is far north, so there is no night right now (even if in FSX Time&Season there are 2-3 hours categorized as night; seems that rendering prevails, rightly so).
That is why I could not see anything with DAY=0,NIGHT=1. You need also DUSK=1,DAWN=1.

Btw, both syntax work [DAY=0;NIGHT=1;] and [DAY=0,NIGHT=1]
