• 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.

Ok ladies and gents, I have been creating FSX aircraft for the last 5 years or so with quite a bit of success and many more failures. I have gone grey, green and all the colors of the rainbow, pulled my hair out, held my breath, jumped for joy...etc. you get the picture. Something has got me absolutely stumped and I need some assistance if anyone can shed some light on the matter.
About a year ago, I came to reasonable grips with the attachpoint tool in 3DS Max and was able to use it effectively, even create my own visibility conditions for things such as strobe light splashes etc..
Don't know when it occurred but something went wrong along the way but I have only recently noticed so have no idea what I have broken. Now whenever I attach an effect to a plane, box or mesh, the intended effect shows up in the sim but I also get a strobe light added to the center of the effect. I thought it might have been a corrupt modeldef file so I replaced them both with the default P3D one to no avail, same issue.
Its got me stumped as I don't know what else to try. Could somebody please help.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance provided.
Gratefully, TJ
 
It's a bug. Not sure what causes it, but I'd investigate if the interior model shares the exact same attachpoints as the exterior one for a start.
 
Heretic, that was spot on. Thank you, thank you oh thank you. Just another time you have saved me from screaming like a little girl. If you ever find yourself making your way down to Melbourne, Australia, please let me know as I owe you many beers.
Kind regards, TJ

Thanks again for your help.

Why is that? Is "Fosters" as bad as our American "Crudweiser"?
 
You can attribute that to publicity, good or bad. I imagine people in Germany feel the same about Löwenbräu which by the way is owned by Anheuser-Busch.
