• 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.

Runway lighting

Hello!

I have a question which I hope someone can solve.

I'm making a custom runway and atm I'm trying to get the lights to work properly, I used the BGL_LIGHTS way but as nothing seems to fix the low visibility issue I would like to hear if there's any other ways of making runway lights?

Other option some people use is to place a SCASM-style runway that has an invisible surface. That way only the lights will show up.
 
Yes I know, problem is that my runway covers an addon airport runway (it's dimensions are outdated) and I can't make the scasm runway end up on top of my runway.
 
Oh, and what about my approach masts? They are a 4 lighted configuration and I want the lights to end up following my masts, is that possible? Without having them shining all day long that is.
 
Hi,

How did you make those masts? It should be possible to add a condition so that they only show at night and dusk/dawn.
 
Well, I used GMAX, thing is that their lights doesn't show up in low visibility. And I still can't make the SCASM lights end up on top of my custom runway.
It's because the only way for me to overlap the addon airports runway was to use high layer numbers.
In order for my SCASM lights to work correctly I would need them to be at layer 44 or so. Do you think that's possible?
 
Hi,

I think you can put a LayerCall command around the SCASM runway as well. Not sure if there is a maximum on the layer though, but a test will quickly show that.
