• 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.

Hello there. I am new to MCX and have been looking thru the MCX wiki for the answers to a couple of questions.

I want to assign an effect to an airport building (Chimney smoke) When I select RANDOM, 2 other fields appear (Threshold and Range) I assume RANGE is miles from source this is visible? Was wondering what THRESHOLD refers to.

Would I be able to use this effect attachment method to attach an audio effect (.wav) if I create an fx_audio.fx file, which will point to a .wav file in FSX/Sound?

Many thanks

Chris Morgan

Range is not a metric of distance. Range applies to the field of possible values between two numbers. Since an audio file has a distinct beginning and end, I believe you may have to employ a effect controller to invoke it.

Thanks so much for your reply rk. I will investigate how to set up a controller file for the sound. I see you can create an effect with MCX, but when you add it to the object, do you add the Controller.fx or the chimney smoke.fx, or both?

Thanks Chris
