• 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.

Hello guys

Working hard on the VC for my shorts 360 and I am stuck at a point to get an illumination for when a switch is turned on. for example prop anti-ice switch is turned on so the on indicator lights up. I've done a forum search and see that I would have to write a partinfo with a visibility tag which i have done.

my question is which option do i select so that it is illuminated?
http://prntscr.com/g3lhuy

Code: 
 <PartInfo>
    <Name>Button_On_Illuminated</Name>
    <Visibility>
      <Parameter>
        <Code>
          (A:PROP DEICE SWITCH,bool) 1 ==
        </Code>
      </Parameter>
    </Visibility>
  </PartInfo>
 
Please define your question a bit more specific.

What I can observe from your code, it is not completely correct. It should be:

Code: 
 <PartInfo>
    <Name>Button_On_Illuminated</Name>
    <Visibility>
      <Parameter>
        <Code>
          (A:PROP DEICE SWITCH,bool)
        </Code>
      </Parameter>
    </Visibility>
  </PartInfo>

Because in the code section, there should be a result which controls the visibility. This result should have two possibilities: 0 or 1.

Furthermore, what you should do:
1. Create the un-illuminated indicator and provide it with at least a diffuse texture (possibly amended with spec, bump and envmap).
2. Create the illuminated indicator with the same textures and an emmission texture (for which you have the correct influence selected as we can see).
3. Make sure the illuminated indicator is slightly in front of the un-ill. one.
4. Tag the selected visibility to the ill. indicator.

Hope that helps!
