• 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.

Question about lights

Hi Arno,
when i import an Api File there have lights then i can see the position and what colour he has.
But, after i make a MDL File and import with Creator to make a BGL File.....there are no lights in FSX to see !

Why ???

Thanks a lot
regards ULI

Ps.
I make all my Objects with EOD, that is a perfect tool to make API Files. I big Tower with buildings is ready at 20 minutes with all what we need !
And in this tool we can give the Obejects all FS2002 lights.
Blink fast, normal , slow or what we need.
And in Modellconverter we can see...but no show lights at FSX.
 
Hi,

When you export to MDL you should also get some effect files, these need to be placed in the FSX effects folder to see the lights.
 
Question two...

Hi Arno,
mhhh....where can i see what effect the lights, normal red or white for lamps or for Tower blink lamps...the fx file it is ?

In my FX Folder are all files with a little more.

EOD make at this time the fs2004 lights for API Files.
But what is that for an fx file ?

I have another way to make a light to tower or what else, but then was the API Objectfile bigger....

Regards
ULI
 
Hi,

When you convert the API macro with ModelConverterX to a MDL file, the effect (FX) files should be written in the same folder as the MDL file. You need to manually copy them to the FSX effects folder.
