• 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 not showing up

I have included a curved approach with towers and lights. The Tower is an fsx generic radio tower. I created the strobe effect and attached it to the tower. When I run fsx at klas I can see the towers and attached effects; however, one individual who was testing could only see the towers without the effect.

I'm assuming, in theory anyway, that if I create an effect and provide the effect file, other users should be able to see the effect as well?

One example of the object with attached effect is below:

Hi,

Are you sure the other user had installed the FX file in the FSX effect folder? Else it will not show of course. That it works on your side seems to indicate that the attaching went fine.
 
Thanks for confirming Arno. He indicated that he had but he also mentioned that he had moved his fsx installation to a non-standard location on a J drive. Not sure if this drive is a network drive or not. I guess I will find out soon if it is working.
