• 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.

Made a model- just a black patch with alpha. Made a library with this in it. (for IS3). Open MCX - attach point- effect chose a small patch of light.

[went to fs editor to make sure this effect had a bmp to point to] it did.

parameters- chose night value =1 closed

Exported scenery and used the same name (the library I made).

This is in addon scenery\scenery and the black patch in in addon scenery\texture.

so far - so good.
Went to an active scenery - open IS3, found my library, chose that model I made- beautiful! Shows up! Place 3 of them.

Later during daytime I noticed the light patches did show up during day also.

Silly me- went back and chose day=0 and night=1 updated, closed, export scenery again.
went back to the active scenery, open IS3, chose the model- NO LIGHTS! Went back to MCX and went back to just night=1, export scenery back to active scenery- AGAIN NO LIGHTS. i.e. first time I made this it works - every time thereafter- no go! Why? Bob
