• 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.

MSFS24 Need help creating a pulsing light

I have been completely reworking an exterior lighting mod that I made for the AN225 to make it work correctly in FS2024, and right now I am stuck on one thing and that is the "strobe" light between the horizontal stabilizers.
At the timestamps in these youtube links (
and
) you can see that the light spot at the rear of the fuselage between the horizontal stabilizers pulses instead of strobing.
I have tried a couple of things already, regrettably also tried to ask chatgpt for help, but so far I have not been able to make it work and the light either just doesn't turn on or it does turn on but doesn't pulse. (even the fs2020 and fs2024 dev pages are useless)

Right now I just having it as a static light source as a fallback with the following code in the .fx file
Code: 
[Library Effect]

any helpt turning this into a pulsing light would be appreciated
