• 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.

Hi,
I've only just recently joined, my main reason for doing so is I have a problem with my FSDS v3 and have looked high and low with out a solution
I am trying to create taxi and landing lights but when it comes to adding the pre-processes none are present. Only those for Scenery
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regards Matt
 
1. Create a polygon for your landing light. Out of laziness, I called mine "Land_Light_Left" and set it to the left side (floating in front of the top wing of my biplane).

2. Per the FS2004 SDK, a material prefixed "LIGHT_LAND" will cause a landing light to come on, with the diffuse color of the material. I chose RED. See the DS_Lights2.jpg screen shot.

3. Create a polygon for your taxi light. Out of laziness, I called mine "Taxi_Light_Right" and set it to the right side (floating in front of the top wing of my biplane).

4. Per the FS2004 SDK, a material prefixed "LIGHT_TAXI" will cause a landing light to come on, with the diffuse color of the material. I chose YELLOW. See the DS_Lights3.jpg screen shot.


What I didn't do this time is play around with the orientation of the polygon axis. Tilting it may give you a better "field" for the lights.

DS_Lights1.jpg shows you the result in FS2004.


Hope this helps.
