Hi,>I have allready done the lightpole in GMAX but I wanted to>make now the light itself (to light at night or dusk).>So for that I asked for your help, so what are the steps now?>what do I have to do now?You can use effects for your light or you could try it with the build in light commands of GMax (LIGHT_NAV, LIGHT_LAND, etc). But unfortunately these do not work perfect with the Fs2004 MakeMDL, so then you will have to tweak the ASM code a bit afterwards. There is a thread in this forum discussing those problems.>After doing the pole I wanted to create the library for RWY 12>Objet Placer, is it possible?That is very well possible. You just need to make a library BGL and a XML file for Rwy12 that defines the library. My Library Creator XML tool gives you a GUI to do both these tasks :).

If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done.

Hi Arno, Thanks for your replyI've tryed to edit manualy the code and It worked 90% as expected, to have it complete I wanted to know if is possible to make that the Light_Nav used to get the light, only pass his light to one side and not to the other.I wanted to tell you that I have done the same in Nova but as the result I can see aproach light from both sides (and if system is in RW 01 I dont have to see the light from RW19).If there is a way to correct this (even if I have to touch some code) in GMAX or in Nova, I'll be very thanksfullSorry for my bad englishHelio Alberto Regalado Moreira
