• 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.

Tutorial making effects

I have been struggling with making effects for Prepar3Dv4 for about 1 year now. I opened effects with FXEditor and changed one or more properties to see how this might influence the appearance of the effect. This trial and error approach has resulted in some effects that I use in my sceneries, but I don't really understand which setting was responsable for which result.

As I am concentrating on making lighthouses I need to understand how to make the lightcharacter of the particular lighthouse. This might be solid, occulting, flashing , in several colors (red, white, green), visible in sectors, and so on. Is there anyone how can point me to a tutorial how to make the effects that show these lighthouse light characteristics.

Many thanks in advance
Jan
 
Hi Jan,

I have moved your question to the general special effects forum, as I think you will get an answer there more quickly. I'm not an big expert on the FX files myself unfortunately.
