I made this building yesterday in gmax..and was wondering how I would go about adding a red beacon light to the top?http://ftp.avsim.com/dcforum/User_files/3dd1c0ed42b7c60a.jpghttp://www.avsim.com/posky/images/banners/gary_ban.gif

You make an object with a material named Light_beacon.It doesnt matter what the object is, because it shows as a lightpoint in FS2002.You can also use light_strobe, light_logo, light_nav and others.These are mentioned in the MakeMDL SDK from Microsoft.

What would give me the best effect for flashing lights on emergency vehicle in the scenery: light_strobe or light_logo or beacon?. Is there tutorial available how to make GOOD flashing lights like those really cool wingtips strobes on the planes?Ted
