• 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.

Effects distance limit

Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but I spent quite a bit of time searching for an answer without results.

In the FSX effects folder is a file named effects.cfg

The last two entries [Emitter Detail Distance] and [Emitter Detail Modifier] can be used to increase or decrease the distance at which an effect will first appear.

Unfortunately, or not, the change would be universal.
 
You are shooting at a wrong rabbit. Read the SDK and you'll discover type 3 controller and that is the way to achieve what you want.
 
I'm familiar with that. But it seems to me, even that controller has a "distance limitation" that is hard-wired into FSX. Perhaps I'm wrong.
