• 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.

FSX Special Effects Creation

Hi all,

I was just looking through the FSX SDK documentation and came across a FX creation tool. I looked through the information it gave you about the forest fire, followed every instruction and opened up the simulator to see a spectacualar forest fire.
To my dissapointment, nothing was there, not even a tiny little flame :mad:

Can anyone explain how to simply put a forest fire anywhere in the world so that I can work from that and create some of my own based on what you say.

I was planning to create a video that included a battle scene and it would be great if I could have explosions and building fires while the battly is in place.


Thanks for your time,

Steve
 
Sorted!!! I would like to state that to view a special effect that has been placed in FSX, you need your scenery complexity slider set to NORMAL. Anything less will not display the effect.

Hi Steve

There is a section in the XML file that allows you to adjust the complexity level at which the effect will appear. Look for the word "Normal" in your XML file and change it to Sparse before you drop it into BGLcomp.
