Welcome to this Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 SDK Mini Series going through the process of converting the Google Maps photogrammetry data of city landmarks from Coventry in the UK into scenery to be used within the game.
In this seventh episode, we look at how to add night lighting to the scenery with a combination of the included lights within the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Scenery Editor and using custom lights in Blender to add a variety to the lights in the scenery.
The software used in this series is:
* Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 : www.xbox.com/en-GB/games/micr...
* RenderDoc (v1.9) : renderdoc.org/
* Google Chrome (v86) : www.google.co.uk/chrome/
* Blender (v2.83) : www.blender.org/
* Notepad++ (v7.9) : notepad-plus-plus.org/
* 7zip (v19.0) : www.7-zip.org/
* Photoshop (v22.0) : www.adobe.com/uk/products/pho...
* Blender2MSFS (v0.40.0): www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/res...
* MapsModelImporter (v0.3.3) : github.com/eliemichel/MapsMod...
* Google Maps Legal Text : pastebin.com/byrdyNkc
* flightsim.to/
I hope you find this a useful guide for bringing your own scenery to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

Thank you for all your videos! 1:22 Is these 3 lights still the only "working lights" that are useful in the editor? I added some lights that were visible in the editor but not in the game... If so, why haven't Asobo made more lights? Regards from Denmark ;)

I have followed your instructions carefully. Prepared an emissive texture, added it to MSFS emissive and checked dan/night cycle. Night texture shows black. also noticed there is no DDS produced for the emissive texture

Hello, is there any way to globally change the color temperature of the lights added by the simulator's world data? For example to have golden-yellow streetlights instead of white streetlights.

Does it matter which renderer i use in blender? i'm using Evee. just wondering if theres any benefit using the others

Is there a way to remove lights that are automatically added? In my project, it's adding a light where it isn't supposed to, and it's actually inside one of my polygons that already has "exclude all" checked in its properties, so I'm guessing there maybe isn't a way to do that. Luckily, it looks very natural, so it won't be that big of an issue.

Is it possible to export just the lights on their own?

@mmajuscule964 3 жыл бұрын

The lights are just off when I'm in blender ? Do you maybe know why ?

@brianmiller1909 3 жыл бұрын

For some reason, the scenery editor is not allowing me to raise the height of the lighting. Do you know the reason for this? I am following these instructions, but I am having absolutely no luck!

Did you check if you have snap to group checked in the properties for the light?

@@FlyingTheston That was it! Thank you so much! Your tutorials are great by the way!

Nice but : as always you dont do a whole,complet tutorial,asumming everyone knows how to use Blender! As in exemple,you showed that building alresdy loaded into blender! It makes your tutorials almost useless! And please keep it cool,is just a sincere opinion,with no directed offenses!
