• 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.

Strange effect problem

Hi all, I tried a search on this forum but without result...
here my problem:
I have a building with lights on top, the building is modeled with Gmax, and lights are added with attachtool in gmax.
If I place the building in the correct position no lights are displayed, but if I place the same building, compiled from exactly the same .mdl and .xml, in a different position the lights are correctly displayed.

Seems my effect is position dependant, but the question is why??

In a different Pc, I done a new clean installation of Fs9 adding only my scenery, to be absolutely sure that no other scenery can be the cause, but the result is the same, building placed in middle of nowhere lights ON, building placed in the correct position lights OFF....... :(

At this time I tried to add my lights with xml and Objcomp and lights, are correctly showed, but there is a lot of work to correctly place the lights inside Fs with obplacer.

any other had this kind of problem? seems like a default fs9 scenery is in conflict with mine, I tried with exclude, but nothing... adding lights in gmax is so easy....
any suggestion??

Thanks Andrea

AFAIK If you use an exclusion (and I assume you did on the airport), the effects that are attached with gmax do not work.

Have a look with the search function in the forum, there is more data on that topic ...
 
thanks for the help, but I tried both with and without the exlcude file, same result, have lights if I place the building out of the city, and don't have if I place the building in the correct position in the middle of the city.
and this happens without any scenery of any kind, only a clean installation of fs9 and my scenery.... :( :( :(
I guess the only solution still use of objplacer... but will have a looooong work...
