• 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.

Weapons Effects

My question is in regards to weapons effects on aircraft in FSX. I would like to find out how many points as in the X coordinates equal 100 meters.
Example: (my missile effects for the default F/A-18 in Acceleration)

[SmokeSystem]
smoke.0= -35.00, 7.00, -6.1, fx_rocketDetach ,
smoke.1= -35.00, -7.00, -6.1, fx_rocketDetach ,
smoke.2= -27.0, 7.00, -4.1, fx_smkpuff_m ,
smoke.3= -27.0, -7.00, -4.1, fx_smkpuff_m ,
smoke.4= -20.0, 7.00, -5.1, fx_rocketp ,
smoke.5= -20.0, -7.00, -5.1, fx_rocketp ,
smoke.6= +2400.0, -7.00, -150.1, fx_explosionOiltankHuge.fx
smoke.7= +2400.0, 7.00, -160.1, fx_explosionOiltankHuge.fx
smoke.8= +2400.0, -7.00, -150.1, fx_explosionOiltankHuge.fx
smoke.9= +2400.0, 7.00, -160.1, fx_explosionOiltankHuge.fx

The first set of coordinates "2400.0" places the explosion far ahead of the aircraft where the missile would detonate at. How do I figure out the distance if I want the impact point to be say at 2000 meters?
 
Hi,

Definitely not the wiki.
As it concerns effects, why not ask your question in the forum/development/ scenery design/effects?

Thanks, Jon,

I know there is some confusion. Sometimes it is feet and sometimes it is meters.
Have you tried 'feet'?
