• 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.

Multiple Smoke Effects?

Hi,

I'm trying to get more than one smoke effect in an aircraft at once, IE. a red smoke and a white smoke. However there is one difference in this, I want to be able to only make one come on at any specific time, eg if i was to press I red would come on and lets say for example i press K and white comes on. I don't want them both on the same time, i know how to do that.


Thanks,
Garry
 
if u mainly want the smoke and dont mind losing ur panel light or tail light, then just put the effect name in place of the vclight.fx in the config and when u turn on ur lights the smoke shows coming from the light that ur replaced. Thats what i've always done. hope it helps.

You can add the smoke as a light and control it with it's respective switch:

eg: (light.xx = 1, 10.00, -2.00, 1.00, fx_youreffect,)
(next #),(type),(front/back),(left/right),(up/down)

maximun of 18 lights allowed.

Code Switch
1 Beacon
2 Strobe
3 Navigation or Position
4 Cockpit
5 Landing
6 Taxi
7 Recognition
8 Wing
9 Logo
10 Cabin

Now whenever u turn respective light switch on,your smoke will work.
You can move switches from other panels so it won't mess with default lights,
 
Effetcs Problem Solved!

What you need to do is enter the following piece of code into your Aircraft .CFG File


[SMOKESYSTEM]
smoke.0=-10.00, -0.70, 0.0, fx_smoke_w
smoke.1= 10.00, -0.70, 0.0, fx_smoke_r

The above is just an example, to get the smoke in a different place, edit the
-10.00, -0.70, 0.0
To use a different effect, put a different effect name instead of the original fx_smoke_w (the effect must be present in your Effects Folder.


Hope that helped =)
