• 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.

MSFS20 Taxi Light Scenery Object Not illuminating in Sim

Hi all,
I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my lights won't show up in the Sim despite being placed in the scenery using developer mode. These are the lights named 'Taxi_Light_02' from the MSFS stock Scenery Objects. I can place them but in the sim they are dark at night is this a known issue or not yet supported by Asobo? I have also tried adding the blue Taxiway edge lights via the Taxiway creation. These illuminate at night but are showing up in random positions.
Any ideas appreciated!

Got the same problem. Both when activating taxiway light in both sides, the blue lights or stop lights don't light up as well ;-(

Taxi light as object are out of function currently. You have to place light row instead. Light row is a bit buggy currently but it works. So, don't chose a taxiway object, choose light row instead. You find it in the object list as option near the bottom. Place it as full multi-line-section or as single via 2 point section.

When you using every taxi light as 2 point section, all lights will be correctly displayed in the sim.

Regards
Mo
 
The taxi stop light asset don't work either. The airport i'm building don't have those there are in FS, so i have some my self. There is two so they flash asynchron, made in Blender

Thanks Mo! It worked as you said. Hopefully those other light objects become implemented eventually. My hours of trial and error and frustration on this object has ended, now onto Bing satellite image editing.

Thanks for the information. I was puzzling over the dead Taxi_Light_0.

Hey I solved the problem a couple of month ago using a trick: put an apron below the taxiway and set the properties to not displaying it. make the apron a little bigger than the taxiway left an right border. That makes all the lights appear without any problems.
 
My two cents here,
With LightRows (and lightPresets) we can attach any object to "proper" Msfs lights
So you can give "life" also to Asobo light posts
Taxi lights or runway lights are very easy to configure with light presets, runway end lights require some fiddling with the values, there is a recent post about that

(Have a tutorial in my to do list to explain how to)
