• 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.

FSX Effects differences between SP2 and Acc

One of the members in the group I fly with recently came across an effect that is stock with FSX Acceleration. He applied it to an airport he created and while those using Acceleration see it fine, those with SP2 don't see it at all. Looking at the code there is not a lot of difference that i can see, any ideas to why this happens between the two and is there a correction so it may be seen by both?

Thanks Greg

The Effect Code:
Code: 
[Library Effect]
Lifetime=5
Version=1.00
Radius=10000
Priority=0

[controller.0]
lifetime=0.0, 0.0 
type=1 
delay=2.00, 8.00 
x offset=0.00, 0.00  
y offset=0.00, 0.00  
z offset=0.00, 0.00
random count=1, 1
effect.0=fx_explosionUFOCntrl1, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 10.00
effect.1=fx_dummy, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 10.00
effect.2=fx_explosionUFOCntrl2, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 10.00
effect.3=fx_dummy, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 10.00
effect.4=fx_explosionUFOCntrl3, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 10.00
effect.5=fx_dummy, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 10.00
effect.6=fx_explosionUFOCntrl4, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 10.00
effect.7=fx_dummy, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, 10.00
 
This is a controller file.

Are the listed effects (fx_explosionUFOCntrl 1-4) present in both Acceleration and SP2. (from the name these sound like controller fx files also)

The most likely reason is that one of the called files is simply not there.
 
Thanks

Thanks pulled the rest of the effects files and now works with sp2. Thanks again for the tip.
