• 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.

Copy the following XML code to notepad, put the proper Latitude, Longitude and height in and place it in your scenery folder. It will put a rotating beacon wherever specified. This was on a thread by Arno that I can no longer find.


<FSData version="9.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd" >

<Beacon type="CIVILIAN" baseType="AIRPORT" />
</SceneryObject>

There has been a great deal of discussion aabout lighting in these forums. I'd suggest that you look at this thread:

http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=629

You can make a passable light (although not too bright) just by making a shape in FSDS and defining the material properties. Just set the shapes' material editor blocks for diffuse, ambient, specular, and emissive color to the same bright red.

Hi,

Have used the .xml-file for a test in FSX. It's working very well.

Questions: the lightbeam is rather short... is it possible (and how) to make it longer; and make three beams following short after eachother (I thing about the light code of the lighthouse here is Ostend). The light may be brighter and the light source smaler.
May I suppose it can be done only with animation ? Or...

For making a landing light on a specifiek place... can it be done on the same way (but what about the code ? The same way of the Forest Fire fx effect SDK example ? Or must I use an object or a plane and attach the effect ? In a former thread, someone said to me that I have to use more than one object... otherwise I risk a crash tree....

Hope you can enlight my way to success, hà. :rolleyes:
