• 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.

How to attach an effect to a moving object

Hello gentlemen,
I participate with my crew to a project around TacPack - f18 VRS.
We are creating many military moving objects and specialy effects for a Libyan theater. http://www.aeromaths.net/fsxwar/

So, I have a problem and surely you can help me:
I can't attach my effects with my objects.

For example, this is an Zsu23 created by Yoyonsky under Gmax.

I did my folder Zsu23 into C:/fsx/Simobjects/groundVehicules with 3 sub-folders: model, sound , texture and the sim.cfg.
The Zsu appears in 3D world when I do Tools/Traffic tool box/Create/Object, non aircraft.
I can move the Zsu but no effect (like dust or smoke) appears.

I let you a copy from my sim.cfg:
[fltsim.0]
title=ZSU23
model=
texture=

[fltsim.1]
title=ZSU23_des
model=
texture=

[General]
category=GroundVehicle

[EFFECTS]
wake=fx_wake
water=fx_spray
dirt=fx_War_PoussiereTank
startup=fx_engstrt_cub

[contact_points]
static_cg_height = 0.8 //feet, altitude of CG when at rest on the ground
static_compression = 0.5 //Static compression of ground reaction spring
damping_ratio = 0.8 //Damping ratio of ground reaction


[DesignSpecs]
max_speed_mph = 95
acceleration_constants = 0.6, 0.4 //Time constant (effects responsiveness), and max G acceleration
deceleration_constants = 2.0, 1.5 //Time constant (effects responsiveness), and max G acceleration

and a copy from my fx creative: Fsx_War_PoussiereTank

I try to make something good with various effects but I want to know how work effects and objects association before continuing.

PLease to teach me :)

Add a [Lights] section to your sim.cfg and replace some lights effects with your dust and smoke effect.
 
If you can still export your objects, simply apply an effect to that part by using the Attachpointtool.
