• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Effect does not show up

Hello,
I've just downloaded and installed the software, and just joined the forum.
The effect does not show up on the blue screen on the right. I Open the effect, and click on Restart effect, but nothing shows. I've tried various effect files. To clarify, I'm referring to FXEditor, not the SDK (which I don't have anyway), and have Vista.
Thanks

Hi,

Does this happen with any effect? For example the default smoke stack effect should work fine.

For some effects it can happen that they are out of view by default. For example to see the fireworks you need to zoom out a bit.

Thanks Arno, in my case zooming in solved the problem, that's why these particular effects didn't show up before. It's a great bit of software, saves a lot of time and hassle.
