If we have a building with a antenne on top of it and we only want the antenna to illuminate we need to make that a separate object. So every part that you want to be illuminated should be separated. You could do that in Blender, SketchUp or any other software you're using. Last part is the emission part. The emission will tell FlightGear in what color the object should be illuminated. By combining the three primary colors (red, green and blue) you can create any color you want. If we did everything as described above with a red light we will get something like: | ||
