• 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.

P3D v3 FSX Graphic Issue When Moving to P3D ?

Hi Folks,

Not the developer - just end-user - trying to fix an issue with aircraft in P3D - I'm pretty familiar with both modeling and texturing though... This aircrafts recognition lights behave strangely in P3D while working fine in FSX... In P3D they look fine up close but rapidly turn into massive ugly flat discs as you back away... The transition is silky smooth so it's not like a LOD popping as they switch... In the first image below the starboard light fills the lens and the port light has already started expanding passed the lens limits... Is this something I can fix with a texture/alpha mod and if so would you have any idea how I can find the appropriate texture ??? This model happens to include a TON of textures and I haven't been able to locate the respective one... The Landing/Taxi lights work fine and don't do this...

Hi Folks,

DOH - please disregard - the last few planes I tinkered with had the lighting built into the model - this one uses EFFECTS... Didn't even cross my mind - easily swapped...

Regards,
Scott
