• 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.

FSXA Missing battery draw for lights. SOLVED!

I noticed that if i create my lights hard coded in the model the only lights that can drain power from the battery are the ones in the aircraft cfg file. I solved this by adding entries with no effect for those lights.

Code: 
[LIGHTS]
//Types: 1=beacon, 2=strobe, 3=navigation, 4=cockpit, 5=landing, 6=taxi, 7=recognition, 8=wing, 9=logo, 10=cabin      

light.1 = 10,  10.80,  0.00,  1.4, fx_vclight
light.2 = 10,  6.80,  0.00,  1.4, fx_vclight
light.3 = 10,  3.00,  0.00,  1.4, fx_vclight
light.4 = 8,  -1.00,  0.00,  1.4, fx_vclight
light.5 = 9,  11.70,  -3.70,  -0.9, fx_vclight

light.6 = 1,  0.0,  0.0,  0.0, fx_NONE
light.7 = 2,  0.0,  0.0,  0.0, fx_NONE
light.8 = 3,  0.0,  0.0,  0.0, fx_NONE
light.9 = 4,  0.0,  0.0,  0.0, fx_NONE
light.10 = 5,  0.0,  0.0,  0.0, fx_NONE
light.11 = 6,  0.0,  0.0,  0.0, fx_NONE
light.12 = 7,  0.0,  0.0,  0.0, fx_NONE

I do have a question about hard coding lights that use vclight effect. For some reason i can't get this effect to show up in the sim unless i use the aircraft cfg entry. Does anyone know why?
 
Having the same problem with regards to getting a vclight effect to show up in the sim.

I thought I could create a variable intensity VC light and then just switch between various vclight effects with each one being slightly brighter than the previous. But while I can get an effect to work like this what I can't get is that all important vclight illumination.

Disappointing. Sounds like just one of those FS limitations we have to live with.
