• 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 to all! I (we) have a problem : Effect parameters such as Day,Night,Dawn,Dusk do not work in FSX , the effect stays on all the time . The same Effect and effect parameters Bgls that works in FS9 , shows without the parameters in FSX . Any solution for the problem ? :confused:

Thanks
 
Hi,

Can you show us the parameters you are using? They should still work in FSX as well. There is a known bug in both FSX and FS2004 that having DAY, NIGHT, DUSK and DAWN parameters together does not work. You need to split in DAY/NIGHT and DUSK/DAWN (so two effects).
 
Hi Arno . I am using the same xml that works in FS9 . I try to compile using the FSX SDK bglcomp , the bgl is generated , but the result is the same ; the effect stays on all the time .


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<FSData version="9.0" xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd">


<SceneryObject

lon="W043 22.30518"
alt="0.0000M"
altitudeIsAgl="TRUE"
pitch="0.00"
bank="0.00"
heading="273.32"
imageComplexity="NORMAL">
<Effect
effectName="LightPoolGroundOval_ApronM"
effectParams="DAWN=1;DUSK=1;" />
</SceneryObject>

<SceneryObject

<Effect

effectParams="DAY=0;NIGHT=1;" />
</SceneryObject>

</FSData>

And using this second pair of effectparams , it seems that the effect is doubled , and shows very bright than normal .

Congratulations for the best and practical object placement program : the Obplacer Xml . :)

Very limited experience, but I made and placed an apron light effect. Each parameter was it's own code, no grouping of say DAWN and DUSK. So in the end there were three entries for each placement, DUSK, NIGHT and DAWN.

Wow ! Can you show us your XML ? I will try it . :)
 
Using your XML , at first , it works fine , but after go to "night" , the effect was on at returning to "day" .... If I shutdown FSX and reopen it , it works fine at "day" ( no effect ) , and the problem continues after I go to night or dawn or dusk ... But at the first time the effect is not on at day .
Strange problem ...
