• 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.

Hello!

I'm very new with effects. Actualy I do not want to create new effects. I want to add to my scenery default effects but when I see my effects folder there are a lot of effects file. I do not know which one is default. Is there any list of default effects? (FS2004)
Is there any software which is able to preview the effect from effects file? That would be great, because I do not want to use the attach tool gmax 1000 times ;)

Thanks! Sorry for stupid questions :D
 
Hi,

Good questions. I don't have FS2004 installed anymore here, but I guess someone with a standard installation should be able to provide a list of the default ones. Else looking in the CAB files on the CD should tell you this.

For the preview, the only tool I know for that is FS itself. But you can also place them with XML code using BGLComp, that might be quicker to preview them than adding them to a GMax object.
 
Thanks Arno.

You are right the best preview is FS itself, and it is a great Idea to check the CAB files. I almost reinstalled my FS

I can not program xml at all. I do not know how to place the effect with it. Everything which is needed a little programming e.g. scasm I can not use. (in case of scasm it is difficult, see my post for rwy light ;) ) . For triggering I use your fantastic tool the MDLTweaker and Library creator. I more familiar with gmax.

Is there any tutorial for xml? Maybe I should convinnce myself to use it.
 
Hi,

Not sure which program you use now to place your GMax models, but you might give my ObPlacer XML tool a try. It also allows you to place effect files and it creates the XML code for you :).
 
grr was just looking for an fx viewer also. MS suggested a registry scan lol :D
Ok, means basicly I have to created 1 big object with all effects in it. keeps me buzy for a while.

btw Ive found the Gmax docs ;)
