FXEditor is an editor for Flight Simulator special effect (FX) files. It gives you a live preview of the effect, while you are editing the parameters. This manual describes how to use FXEditor.
Getting FXEditor
Prerequisites
Microsoft .NET Framework version 2.0
Installation
The information on how to get the latest version of FXEditor can be found in this thread on the support forum.
Once you have downloaded the ZIP file containing the program, you need to unzip it to a folder of your choice. Since FXEditor shares a number of DLL files with ModelConverterX, it is suggested that you install them both in the same folder. If you have used a previous version before, you can replace those files with the new version.
