Positioning airport beacon

[sichars1968]

I am working on an airport at the moment using WED1.2, and the airport beacon is positioned on top of the control tower. How do I adjust the height of the small airport beacon object so it appears on top of the tower, and indeed, is this posssible? The 'set MSL' box for the object is this 'Mean Sea Level'? When I have checked this and then set the height of the beacon above MSL it appears way too high above the tower.

Any help with this is much appreciated.

MSL - height above sea level.

So, if your airport is at 1000m above the global sea level, you need to set the beacon to 1010m to make it "10 meters" off the ground.

Just adjust that MSL value and you'll get it right. Note that it's in meters, not feet =)

Thanks for clarifying that Chris.

I wish there was an airport beacon only object, as there is for Helipads and Marine(just the yellow part with the rotating lights on top). Is there a way to just use this from the two airport beacon objects?

Thanks
