There is an even easier way, explained in OPA Marshall's tutorial at avsim.com
Toms way might be a bit more troublesome, but also be more flexible.

PS: Kudo's for Tom sharing this detailed information!

Hi, Thanks. Actually, several people have asked about beacons lately. I like my method better, because it is less likely to cause errors (no manual entry of the lat and long values), and you can not only add the red and white tower but also the other default towers or my special beacon base object. You can also change to any of the various beacon types. But I agree, if you want to add a standard civilian beacon on the red and white tower, his method is a bit easier. One think I forgot to mention - I don't know if you lose the beacon if you move the tower object in Instant Scenery, etc. I haven't tried that yet.

I can't tell you how nervous I was when I reloaded FS. And then went to my project and looked------ THERE IT IS, THE BEACON! in all its green and white rotating glory atop the terminal's tower!! Thanks Tom, the instructions are great! Grand Central is one more step closer to perfection!(Ha!)
