• 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 friends, hello FSD team, :)

Thanks for accepting me as a member.

I did look for where to place this query as it involves tweaking an existing stock plane. Hope its okay here.

Background
  • I have flown extensively as a passenger on real world A320neo flights and I always get the window seat.
  • I noticed that the wingtip strobe bulb is clearly visible to passengers as it flashes.
  • Being a light-geek in games I noticed that in stock MSFS the Asobo A320neo bulb flash is not clearly visible and indeed seems invisible - even at night.
  • The strobe flash can be seen in the haze but not the bulb

This is a pic from the game, the strobe is flashing but the bulb flash stays invisible:

This is a still image from my video of a real world A320neo flight I rode on recently. The strobe bulb flash clearly visible:

Finally here is my real world video:


I want to make the wingtip strobe bulbs visible on the Asobo A320neo.

I have located the file named LIGHT_ASOBO_StrobeDouble in the effects folder. But there a lot of parameters and I don't know where to start. I have pasted the code from the file below.
Thanks for any advice :)
