Think it was adding the max value in, so try -

<code> (A:LIGHT BEACON,number) ! (A: VELOCITY BODY Z, knots) 0 = * </code>

Try this

<part>
<name>tied_downs</name>
<visible_in_range>
<parameter>
<code> (A:LIGHT BEACON,number) ! </code>
</parameter>
<minvalue>1</minvalue>
<maxvalue>1</maxvalue>
</visible_in_range>
</part>

Try replacing code section with (I forgot a space)- <code>(A: VELOCITY BODY Z, knots) 0 = (A: LIGHT BEACON, bool) ! * </code> Copy and paste it in. If nothing, time to test variable/values being returned - <code>(A: VELOCITY BODY Z, knots) 0 = </code> If that works try - <code>(A: LIGHT BEACON, bool...

Have you?

This is all the available lights - LIGHT STROBE LIGHT PANEL LIGHT LANDING LIGHT TAXI LIGHT BEACON LIGHT NAV LIGHT LOGO LIGHT WING LIGHT RECOGNITION LIGHT CABIN You could try - <name>YOUR PART NAME</name> <visible_in_range> <parameter> <code>(A: VELOCITY BODY Z, knots) 0= (A: LIGHT BEACON, bool) ! * ...

As we found out - Piston engined aircraft do not respond to Nav, Strobe or Landing lights as AI.

There are a couple more you could try but I ca'nt remember what they are......IDENT? etc

That would include the canopy textures then also.

Hi! Thanks to everyone. (sorry, I'm not connected often as I live in a country which is at the beginning of Internet : Madagascar) I'll try the FreeFlightDesign forum next week. The model is about to be finalized, but without the shadow trick. I've done a scenery with LODs and custom shadows for ea...

Yes I am, though I'm not entirely how to get them-anyone know how? If you look at the original extracted package. They should be in the main MSFS texture folder. Place them in the same one for FS2004 or FSX. I.e. not in the aircraft texture folder, but the games main texture folder. If that fails t...

Seems you are missing the weapons texture for the Gripens and Hawks.

One model I don't think I did was the NASA ER-2.

Think I just forgot about it lol.

Just found out NASA also has two Global Hawks now!

I use FSDS and it automatically uses the a shadow based on the next LOD down for the current LOD.
I would hope that GMax does something similar.

You could try asking here

Sorry can't be of more help.

You need imagetool. Available in the FS2004 Terrain SDK. ( http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/downloads.php?do=cat&id=10 ) Using that you can invert alpha channels without converting formats. To open the texture in Gimp you will first need to use imagetool to convert the texture to either a 32 bit...

Fernando Martinez I believe.

For props/rotors - Transparency was changed in FSX. Try inverting the alpha channel on the props bitmap. Other issue - Always thought that it was a problem with FSX that had been sorted in SP2 but re-appears in the acceleration pack? I seem to remember issues with FSX and things going invisible behi...

Hello there Weescotty Thanx so much for your response, I really appreciate it. I did not know that the Lag was back to front, go figure why it appeared instantly lol I am learning all the way since this was my first modeling project but the next will go much smoother and with you guys here at the f...

Unless there is real need to (intermediate keyframe) there is no need to animate in 10 degree steps. So remove all key frames and only animate the start and finish positions. 0 = inside 90 = outside The lag parameter sets how long the anim takes. If I remember the lower the lag, the longer it takes....

Up to FS2004 you could 'colour' a part using a material only if you wanted to. With FSX all parts must have a texture or they will show up black. Alpha - can be used for either reflectivity or transparency. So its quite likely the areas you found are for glass (transparency). An alpha with a materia...

Textures - Can be done in any size as long as they follow the multiply by 2 series - 256x256, 512x512, 1024x1024, 2048x2048 etc etc. Typically the smallest used is 64x64, anything less doesn't reduce the overal file size. The largest for AI tends to be 1024x1024. Textures are mapped to the model eit...
