• 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.

MSFS24 Creating a package with attached VFX to SimObjects

Hey everyone,

I'm working with the MSFS2024 SDK and trying to accomplish the following:
  1. Create a SimObject package that includes multiple instances of the SimObject VfxSpawner.
  2. Attach a different visual effect (e.g., FX_Fire_2_Small) to each VfxSpawner.
  3. Name each VfxSpawner according to its assigned effect.
  4. Build the package so that these SimObjects with VFX can be triggered/spawned using a SimConnect code I wrote (using SimConnect_AICreateSimulatedObject_EX1)

I've spent a lot of time searching online and experimenting with the SDK, but I'm finding it quite challenging to put everything together.
Could someone give me a brief explanation of how to create and build a project like this using the SDK? :)


Thanks a lot!

In this video there should be everything you need
(Simply in your Simobject don't add any geometry, an empty cube with invisible material is enough for the effect to be attached)
