• 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.

Cntrl type 3 - is it only an ON switch?

I'm making a detailed power station with a lot of chimneys and cooling towers that are marked with hazard beacons. For those beacons I used fx_ files and I'm trying to control their range with a distance controller. The whole setup actually works as expected, there's only one matter that bothers me:
Using controller I expected to see my effect appearing at the distance spcified - that is the case. I was also expecting my effect to chease working once the distance is greater than that specified in the ctrl_ file, but that is not happening - effect is still there. So my question is: is the type=3 controller only an "ON" switch or there should also be the "OFF" functionality and there is something wrong in my coding of controller?
