• 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.

MSFS Blender Lighting issues

Wondering if anyone else is having issues with the lighting? The emission on materials projects as I would expect from a visual aspect looking at the light/object. However it doesn't cast light as I would expect. I have tried adding lights from Blender which look terrific when rendered in Blender. However, when exported into MSFS it falls short. In particular i am referring to area lighting. In my model i have canopy lighting that is 8 ft long, i add the area light and as stated Blender it look great. In MSFS, the reflection on the canopy indicates its a point light. Am i missing a setting in the MSFS portion, that is causing all my lights to be point lights in MSFS?

In Blender

In MSFS w/o symmetry (Notice shadow and light orb as if point light added.)

In MSFS w/Symmetry (Shadow is removed but light orb still remains and looks like point light, not area)
