• 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.

Photoreal Fire Effect tester!!

Hey Nath,

Here is a way to attach sound to your truck.

I created an effect and controller with a sound param which is in the zip folder. Attach the controller(not the effect) to your object using gmax attachscript. The effect just contains the sound params and the controller is used for distance which is set at 35 meters. If you want it to be heard closer then make the amount less...heard farther..increase the value. Just drop both files in your effects folder.

IMPORTANT!!! you will have to rename your wav. file to amb_aexp1a.wav then just drop in your fs/9 sound folder.

The two reasons that i used a controller was for the distance you want the sound to start. Second reason is that these sounds are considered global...meaning that if you set the sound to be heard at your local airport at 1:00 pm.....and your flying over another country at that time...you will hear that sound, using a controller with a distance param will eliminate that.

Also, the reason you need to change the name of the wav file is that only certain names are reconized by fs9. Lucky for us, combat flight sim 2 uses the same engine as fs9 and there are a couple of sound params that are hard coded into fs9 that are not used like the one i gave you. Since there are a few, if you intend to release this on the site, make it well known that the end user isnt using this param already for another effect, otherwise it will overwrite it.

Hope this helps you
Dave

That would only be possible by using a gauge or a DLL. MDLMaker can't handle the GMax-sound-option.

You can use sounds with fx though. If you want to know how to do this take a look at my homepage for the reverser-fx.

edit: uups, didn't see the las post...

Waiting nerviously for the Tiki Light

Hi tas,
I hope they fix the lighting problem in FSX so if you put some lights on scenery it will light the scenery & ground up that would be good too.

Havent started the tiki lantern yet, cant find any pictures of one to copy :(
I'll do a search tonight and see what i can find.

Hopefully in a few days it will be complete and i will upload it and give a link here.

Take your time mate

Take your time mate as I am just moving onto the hotel
that would have tiki lights.

"I hope they fix the lighting problem in FSX so if you put some lights on scenery it will light the scenery & ground up that would be good too."
Not wrong

And wait till you get into shadows and ground planes with buildings
and effects and default scenery. They all seem to have different
rules to what the shadows fall on.

Transperancy's seem to be even stranger in their behavior.
 
Hello,

Here is a screen shot of the Tiki lantern i'm workling on now, i'v still got a little bit of work to do on it.
I'm Still working on the Effects.
I'm not sure if it looks any good, Please let me know if it dosent.
Hopefully it will be finished by tomorrow.;)

Tas,
The Fire/Smoke effect is nearly finished now,It would have been done now but my computer has a trojan that keeps downloading more trojans so my PC keeps crashing, freezing. So i havent been able to complete it yet.
Nearly finished though ;)

I'm Back

Hello everyone,

It's been a while since i've been here last.
My computer went all weird and i had to reformat, also i've been away for a while and havent been around the Computer.

Tasmanet,

I've restarted on a new Tiki light because i lost the last one when i reformatted.

I got FSX about 2 weeks ago, i dont recommend it now at this time,
Maby in a few years it would be worth getting it.The Framerates arn't the best in high detained areas (3-7 FPS) on low settings. But when you get in the desert or a low detail place you get around 10-15 FPS on low settings.

anyway i'll be around a lot more now.

Hope to do some more projects verry soon.

PS: FSX SDK is pretty good, you can slew around and place objects in the FS world with a crosshair and build missions, i think is the coolest.
Can't wait for the FSX Gmax SDK.

Reguards,
Nath
