• 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.

FSXA Vis. controlled static effect

Hi everybody,

I've been trying to solve this in a lot of ways, but I couldn't.

The problem is: I have a nice radial engine, which will have a blueish flame at the exhaust above certain Cylinder Head Temperature and Manifold Pressure. To control that, I created a visibility, tagged the attached object with this visibility (so I created a poly, attached the flame effect to it, tagged it with visibility).

To let the effect appear like a flame, I first tried to give the particle a velocity. But then, the particles would be affected by airspeed. I needed to set No Interpolate=1 and Static=1.

But if Static=1, the particles will remain attached to the emitter. So the flame is only a spot and looks bad. If Static is not 1, the flame particles will be affected by airspeed.

The same happens as I give the particles a temperature (so no velocity).

So, how should I do this: create an emitting effect which wouldn't be affected by airspeed?

Please, help me out! Edit: if one needs additional information, say it;)

Regards, Daan ;)

Thanks Ron, I'll have look at these. Tried something alike in the very early stage, but didn't succeed at first. Maybe now;)

Thanks!
