Making a beacon

[Lighthorse]

Hay guys
I am trying to make a rotating Beacon
I am using Airport Design Editor and Instant Scenery
I have Placed:
Beacontower01
Beaconlightland
Beaconlightlandglow   > at L08 this shows at night only  ]
But cant figure how to get the beacon to rotate.
Trying to make one similar to the one at
Borrego Springs,

Been outta the loop for awhile...but there should be a help button on the program that explains how to create the animation.

I have not seen it in Instant Scenery. If its an anamation I shoud be able to place the one thats at L08 on the Air port I am creating.

I ran into the same sittuation. Here's what I did.......

Fire up ADE , open settings on the toolbar, click open options.

Check mark: Save XML after Compile

Something I found just last week seems to do the job very easily - it claims to only be valid for use in FS2004, but the beacon & tower appear in FSX SP-2 without any problem:

(apologies for the outside link, couldn't find the same utility here)

Thanks Guys for the help I will try both.

Awesome that worked great.
Now if I can get the wind socks to blow with the wind.  ;D
Creating a Sailplane Airport in the desert by Salton Sea.
Tow more things to figure out and it will be done.
Plants showing through were they shouldn't
and the wind socks not moving.

If you used Instant Scenery to place your windsock it is static. what you need to do is place your windsock using ADE, and it will work. As far as everything else " I FEEL YOUR PAIN " , I'm trying to figure out how to get the flag on a flagpole to blow in the breeze! If I learn anything I'll pass it along.

OK thanks I will try that

You guys are all looking for the same things I was a couple of weeks ago for my own scenery project. For a good animated windsock, try this:

It comes in .mdl format so will have to be converted to .bgl and added to a scenery library folder (Instant Scenery has a library object converter so it's pretty easy to do).

For animated flags, first obtain the base flag files for their textures:

then, get this to create working flags:

Apologies for linking to another site, this is the only place I've found them.
