• 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.

P3D v4 P3D V4.4 Water salute effect

Hello! I was wondering, how could I create a water salute effect for my airport?

Let’s say I have a truck. Now I want to add the spray effect. How would I do that? Use the particle engine in p3d? Or make a custom video of a rendering of a spray.

Let’s say I chose option 2: video of the spray effect. Now, how can I apply a 2d video on an object?

Examples:

English is not my first language, so sorry for the mistakes and confusion I’ve brought here.

Cheers,
Aidas

Video? You can't apply video. However, you can do wonderful things (but only if you try hard ;)) using FSX/P3D particle effects. Simply load the "Visual Effects Tool" and experiment. There is quite a lot you can do with it.

Look at the water effects at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas for ideas. You can probably edit a copy of those?

Itay, you are forgetting interpunctions. That way you will get nowhere when editing effects!:D
Sorry, we are remembering the end of WWII right now.
Now we have 2 minutes of silence....
Back again.
Will send a effect file doing something of the kind tomorrow. It should not be that difficult.

Cheers

And do I have to add that script into scenery.cfg?

Cut-n-paste all that text into an empty text file. Give it a name that will reflect what it is/does. Like fx_Water_salute.fx , for example.
Make sure the trailing file extension is .fx .
Make sure you only ever use NotePad or NotePad++. Never ever use a word processor! They add symbols you can't see but make the file unusable.

This way, you can add the effect to a truck you add to the scenery with the SODE tool.
Does this help?
