• 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.

Dynamite... Yeah!!!!

Hi all,

First of all, i have to say that i'm a completely new effect designer. I have a small project which consists in creating an effect for the dynamite used in the protection against avalanches. I have understood that i can make an effect with different steps :
- launch
- explosion
But i meet some difficulties to understand how i will reproduce the effect of the explosion in 3 dimensions?

Is my explaination understandable?
____________________________________

The first problem is solved : i found the parameters to launch one dynamite one time. I don't know exactly how, but it works, so... next problem.
____________________________________

During the falling of the dynamite, i would like that the wind have an impact on the directory of the dynamite. The "drag" parameters seems to be good for that. But, when the dynamite is on the ground, it still continue to move because of the drag parameters... Is there a solution to allow the impact of the wind during the falling of the dynamite, and to fix it when it's on the ground? Don't forget that the dynamite is falling into the snow, so, it will not move on the ground!

As you can see, i had a second part of the effect which is the explosion... For the moment, i use a smoke effect... I'm working on it to find the best way to reproduce the explosion. So, i try to understand the fx_rocketp.fx which can be a way to do it. I don't know if i will simply use a smoke with a short life time and which will grown up very quickly... Please, leave me your advice!

Don't hesitate to give me your feedback,
Any tutorial is welcome!
Thanks in advance,

NB: don't hesitate to ask some questions? I fell a little alone and my english doesn't make me very understandable... :(
