• 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.

P3D v4 Faint sound but no EFFECT

I've been developing weapons effects since P3D v2 and very familiar with SDK setup and dll.xml adds etc so I'm pretty sure it's installed properly but when I load the SDK FX TOOL for v4.1 I cannot see any effect execute. I can load any effect into the TOOL but on "DO EFFECT" it will only play the sound and very faintly . . no visual . . . . I can load save or modify any effect . .still nothing, but if I check off "show location" the sim CRASHES!

I know this should be simple so "Where's the setting I'm missing?" . . or is there s deeper problem?

SOLVED - All my sim software is installed on a separate G: drive. The new SKD 4.1 was installed unexpectedly installed in C: Program Files . . . the dll.xml was still pointing to SDK4.0 on G: but also unexpectedly the fxtool still came up as apparently working since you could edit and hear but not see the effects go off. Final clue was, ticking "Show Location" which caused the whole sim to crash. . . and researching the error log led to finding the location of the 4.1SDK

Well THAT was FUN!
