• 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.

G'day guys, I have made my objects street light and I added a polygon with a light, but I keep getting this message when I am generating the object to a MDL.

"OutputFile: _temp.MDL
Output file after modification: _temp.MDL
Creating output MDL file: _temp.MDL

If you have any idea on how to fix this I would be very greatful. All I want to do is add a blinking yellow light to an object that is on all the time weather it is night or day.
 
You have an animated part (wing_fold_r_pct) BUT you forgot to name it Ambient.

Hi Farfy, thanks for getting back to me so quickly. How do I name it ambient?? Actually what is the best way to apply a light effect for street lights??
 
Visit my site and go to the tutorial section.

For Animation have a look at “Basic animation for FSX”



Their two ways to make a streetlight.

Have a look at “Adding an effect to a object”

Or ”Street light ground effects”
