flare not showing in game window

I created a GO, attached a flare component and adjusted in the editor scene view. It doesn’t show up on the game screen. I looked at some of the answers for materials not showing in editor game window & none worked. No setting or combination of layer settings in “Ignore Layers” has any effect. Brightness setting has no effect. Directional checkbox has no effect (i.e I see nothing along the pos z axis). Are lens flares for Pro version only? If so why does it show in the scene window? Thanks in advance.

I had a similar issue. I had to add a flare layer to the camera.

component / rendering / flare layer

2018.3 and cannot make it work in HDRP inside a volume.(collider).

Any suggest?
