Hi all,
I'm trying to put up a forest fire scenery. I managed to produce an acceptable smoke column effect. Using FSEffect, I produced an api from the fx file and used it in Airport to be added as an object to the scenery. Even if, in Airport, I marked this object to be visible to 20 nm, it only gets activated when I'm about 5 nm from the source and, then, even when activated, it dissappears when I fly beyond the 5nm limit and only shows back when when I fly back within this limit. Is someone aware if and how the activation and the visibility could be pushed beyond this limit.
Being on the effect subject, is it possible to activate and/or deactivate a ground effect, smoke for example ;-), by pressing a keyboard key. I know it can be done on the aircraft itself, pressing "I" key twice, for smoke effect. But could the same be acheived for ground effects.
Thank for any info.
