• 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.

Hi,
This looks like a really good program, well done. Nice layout and icons.
Only problem is i cant get anything to work on the FXEditor.
Ive got WIN 7 Home Premium, 64 bit.
Intel core 2 Duo E7500 2.93ghz
3gb Memory
N520GT graphics card.
i get the programme running and get a grid on the blue screen area, when i load an effect in nothing appears. Even the default FSXA ones do nothing.
Maybe ive done something wrong ?
Also it keeps telling me theres and updated version which i have downloaded already. Just thought you should be made aware of these issues.
 
Unfortunately, there are no "instructions" for using the program.

Load a default .fx file into the program.

Adjust the x,y or z position(s) by 1m in any direction.

Click on the Apply button to see the effect in the sim. The position sliders will only increment/decrement in 1m steps, so if you need a decimal, you'll have to type it in manually.
 
fixed thanks

Cheers that worked, its damn usefull , saved me loads od time placing then runnig fsx each time. Thanks for the help

No problem. It took me awhile to "stumble" onto the solution to the non-display problem.

I use the tool a lot when developing new .fx files.
 
Hi,

I am a bit confused, are we talking about my FXEditor here (which does not have direct interaction with FS) or about the SDK effect editor?

Now I am confused as well! If he was asking about your utility, and I gave instructions for the SDK effect editor (visualfxtool.dll), then my answer should have been of no help whatever! :confused:
