Most things will update just fine without a full restart, closing and re-opening the project is usually enough.
When I'm tweaking my 3D models, I don't even bother closing the project. As long there's already a model with the same GUID in the community folder you can export straight from blender to your package sources and it'll update live.

One more problem with light, i have tried 100 different settings but i cant find a fix for it.
I have added a spot light and a point light, the point light is not in the center where i placed it in blender. It is rotating far from the center of the lighthouse, I have made 4 lighthouses 2 of them work and the other 2 dont, completly same settings
Not 100% sure on this one, but could be a scaling issue. Select everything in object mode, then go to the Object menu at the top left and Apply>All transforms.
Also make sure your 3D cursor is at the base of your model, in the centre.
No problem! 
I cant find the msfs light settings, where is it located, Thanks
Here:
change that and try re-exporting it to the sim
Hi, me again!
Do you have symmetry turned on in the blender2MSFS light settings?
First im saying thank you for your help, i really appreciate your help :=) It worked to flip the normals, and about the baked texture. SHould i do it, i tried to search on the internet. But i didnt get a asnwer, so what is ambient occlusion baked texture? Thanks!
You're very welcome!
It's up to you whether you bake your textures but like I said before, it's more efficient because instead of loading lots of different materials, each with their own set of textures into the sim you can just have one texture file with all the materials on it which saves memory.
So you'd bake all of the colour info for the whole model to one colour (albedo) map, then bake ambient occlusion (shadow information, essentially), roughness and metalness to another and then the normals from each material to a single normal map. It's a bit in-depth, but makes more sense once you've done it a few times.
I couldn't find any MSFS specific info either and I had to work out a lot of it by myself so I'm actually thinking of writing a step by step guide on my blender to MSFS workflow. I'm no expert but hopefully it helps a few people!
Let me know how you get on
Hi, i tried Recelculate normals, it worked on some faces. I havent baked any textures do i have to do that?
Did you check they recalculated properly? It doesn't always work perfectly and you sometimes have to flip faces individually. If you tick 'Face Orientation' in the viewport overlays menu it'll show your normals. All of the faces should be blue on the outside and if you see any red you'll need to flip them individually. I've attached a picture of what I'm talking about.
Baking textures is more efficient, especially if you have lots of different materials but it's definitely not necessary, and if you haven't baked an AO map it's unlikely to be the problem.
If you want to send me the .blend file and the textures you used I'd be happy to take a look at it for you
Flipped normals maybe?
Select all faces of the object in blender, then hit F3 and search for 'recalculate normals'.
I've also seen something similar happen if I forget to set the image type to non-colour when baking ambient occlusion.
Just a handful of the assets I've been working on for Oban Airport. Coming soon!
Seconding this. A button of its own at the top instead of being part of a drop-down would be good.
I would like it if authors used the following format: ICAO code, geographic location, author. E.g., ypad
-adelaide-south-australia-fred-nurk
Do you mean the title on the site or the folder name? Because there's already guidance in the SDK for folder naming (creator-type-ICAO-name, e.g asobo-airport-lowi-innsbruck). I like your suggestion, but it only works for airports so we'd have to use a different convention for other types of addons and that would be really messy.
Custom category below all the proper mods is an excellent idea! Makes the front page worth browsing again.
Forgot to post an update in this thread when it was released but 1.0 is out now and you can find it here:
Official support thread for my EGPG Cumbernauld addon.
Post any feedback/requests here and I'll get back to you
I'm a student pilot and long time flight sim geek (FS2002 was my first) from Glasgow. I have a little programming knowledge but I've never attempted scenery development until recently, when I realised the airports I fly to in real life aren't nearly as accurate as I'd like them to be so I decided to have a go at improving them and here we are!
I've just released my EGPG Cumbernauld addon, which I hope you all enjoy using as much as I enjoyed making it. I plan to do many more, starting with my local area on the west coast of Scotland and expanding from there.
Huge thanks to the creators of this website for building such an excellent platform, without which I likely wouldn't be doing this.
Glad to be onboard!
Looking forward to this one! looks great so far. Do you reckon it'll be ready for the update this week?
Yep! It's 100% functional and I'm just polishing things off at this point so it'll be out on Thursday, just in time 
Here's another wee sneak peek...
Update!
Modelling finshed on the main building, which I'm really happy with. I'm starting to texture it today and once that's done I just need to do model a few small props and tidy up the airfield a bit and it'll be good to go! I'm really excited to release this one, especially with the incoming UK update.
