• There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

I'm searching for a way to add a light to this one. I use FSDS 3.5 and I use ModelConverter. It must generate an extensive light.

Any further news on this one? Not sure about FSDS, but in GMAX I believe it's a triangle/plane that must be edited post-export to change a few lines of code, but can't remember exactly what. I know it's in the reference section of the FSDeveloper site.

I have a workaround for the lights.

Sorry for being away for so long, but family and a few other things have taken priority for most of the year.

Please feel free to use the smoke xml I use to make the smoke if you would like. Just make a txt and insert the code, then drag-and-drop over "bglcomp.exe" and it should create a "bgl" file.

Conversely, if you want to edit the airport in ADE, you can also add the code through there by adding the "effect" through the "right-click" menu. I don't usually do it this way since I edit the xml "post-export" anyway, but it works fine if you add it that way too.

Here's the code for the smoke:

XML: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<FSData
version="9.0"
xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="bglcomp.xsd" >

<!-- GENERIC AIRPORT BASE TYPE "A" - OBJECTS -->

<!-- Smoke Pot For Runway Choice -->

    <SceneryObject
        lat="0"
        lon="0"
        alt="0"
        altitudeIsAgl="TRUE"
        pitch="0"
        bank="0"
        heading="0"
        imageComplexity="NORMAL">
        <BiasXYZ
            biasX="0"
            biasY="0"
            biasZ="0"/>
        <Effect
            effectName="fx_smokestack_w"
            effectParams="HOD=05,17;"/>
    </SceneryObject>

</FSData>

Just replace the lat/lon with your values of the place you want.

This one uses the white smoke effect and operates from 0500 local until 1700 local, which is usually good enough for daytime use. To have this work with the "right-click" option to add effects in ADE, just make sure you add the effect name and parameters in the window in the appropriate locations. Just the "stuff" between the quotes without the quotes, if I remember correctly.

Hope this helped!

Jorge,
I don't have difficulty with placing smoke in my scenery.
