• 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.

A quick question ..... before I embark on "learning" the use of AFTL (sounds a great tool) or perhaps not.

Flightbeam for example has ALS models for its airports which essentially only operate overnight or in some cases (KMPS) can optionally operate 24hrs. They don't provide a PCL option as you can for ALS operating daytime in poor visibilility (it's all or nothing in daylight, though you can select the appropriate depending on one's reading of the TAF & then conservatively ..... arriving in bright skies, lights on when the TAF has a tempo / inter call on visibility).

My thoughts are to have AFTL models for daytime PCL use ..... but with that I'll have AFTL's & FB's at night or alternatively I need to delete FB's period !!

Is this plausible .... one assumes you & they (& others similar) have no "mutual" interests here ?

Thanks for your thoughts

I am not familiar with Flightbeam ALS models so I can't comment on how you might be able to disable their lights at any time of day.

AFLT lights operate independently, so there's no problem in having AFLT lights in addition to others. But, I suspect you'd find the display using two different light sources less than pleasing.)

Thanks ..... so maybe I have 2 afcads, a day & a night one.

Next step is to use AFTL to see how it goes (though I wonder if others have not already done so at these airports)
