• 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 - I really do not know where this should go, so feel free to move it. 😊]

Hello,
Is there an easy(?) way of adding a white-white rotating flashing light (beacon?) to FSX scenery? I don’t need the whole lighthouse, just the white rotating “light” I will put atop hangar in a control tower centered in the hangar.
I am trying to replicate a series of lighthouses for marine navigation for a VA-ish virtual ship hauling operation (VSO?) using the Shupe/Barendregt “HMS Bounty” and other FSX marine vehicles in various places.
FYI - I have “schoomzed” together objects from Instant Scenery 2.

Any suggestions?

PS - I did search the forum, but did not understand.

UPDATE: I no longer need help with the above. I will post back later with steps to success for the benefit of future readers.

Step 1: Start reading the ADE Manual and things will begin to make sense fairly quickly.
 
Meanwhile, back at the ranch…

I did figure out the the flashing light above (with Samantha’s help 👍), but now I am having trouble placing objects precisely since my hand shakes. I will post a new thread.
