• 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.

Hi forum,

I´m a newbie in 3D-Modelling. Now I have bulid my firts ship model for AI ship traffic in FSX and P3D. In this model I use the fx_Smoke_Sml fx.

My question is wether it is possible to stop the effect when the ship stops (e.g. in a habour) even like the wake effect?

You can nest the smoke effect inside the Wake effect - meaning you copy the text from the smoke effect and put it into the Wake effect. This way you don't need to attach any effect directly in the model, but have everything in the Wake effect - the smoke will then stop when the ship stops.
 
Hello Henrik,

thanks for that tipp!

I'll give it a try if I get the effect also positioned in the right places :scratchch :D

Another small tip then... it looks on the illustration like your boat is placed some 15 meters in front of the centre point (0,0,0) - if you move the boat back so the centre of the stern waterline is in 0,0,0, then you will get a nicer turning behavior of your ship. Try to take the wake effect from one of my newer ships - at least some of them have notes included explaining the different parameters e.g. //smoke //red navigation light //bow spray...
