• 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.

in fsx acc,in the attach tool i have, FX_afterburner fire 1. and 2 and 3.in the
effects to attach..

in the visibility objects, i have Afterburner_engine 1_ stage 1....through to 6

and another section Afterburner_engine 2_stage 1....through to 6...

placing a series of polys 1 to 6, at strategic points on the end of the jetpipe
and attaching engine 1,stage1....engine1, stage2...etc....making sure the pivot is set properly...export, effect appears but does not behave as expected....ie the expected effect, is not effected as expected....as the throttle is advanced each stage appears as a seperate effect....

do i somehow have to link the effects to each other? or is this because my model is aliased with the fa18, which doesnt seem to use the default effects
but possibly a custom effect,which although not appearing, may be interfearing with the default effects




just checked cfg,,, afterburner_available=6.....but under effects,no afterburner listed, just engine fire=fx_enginefire_f18.....which has no bearing on the prob..jim

or i have screwed up again?...see pics ....jim

gone and redo. all polys now very close together..the concentric burner ring stays in place. but the after burner flame is now very short.....if all 6 include a concentric flame ring then all 6 need to be close to each other.....but an a/b with a 3 inch fuse, is not right...lots of people must have succeded in this, not particularly exciting a/b, but best i can at the moment.....i must be missing something?.....jim

decided to leave this for now, its not a great effect....and i need to fix more pressing issues...or i will never finish this.....jim

I see you are doing the lightning. Nice. The only reason I still use FS9 is for the ALPHA EE Lightning pack.
Have a search for hanger doors in the forum somewhere. I seem to remember a similar problem there.
