Effects Experts...Please Help!

Hey everyone.I'm trying to get a new drop pattern for Brian Gladden's Air Tractor 802 "Fire Boss", as none of the ones I've seen accurately simulate the shape of the water coming out of the tank. Would someone describe how to make one of these files up, or just make on up in their spare time? Here are a few pictures of what it is supposed to look like. Thanks!http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/51126.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/51127.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/51128.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/51129.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/51130.jpg

Someone has to know something about effects? Look at everything that's been done with them so far!

Jeff.... As part of the Flight Orinteo team.... I'm sure that you have heard of SDK's... The only one I know of that covers this is for FS2002. Title is Effects SDK and can be had from the MS Flight Simulator site.Joe W.

Hi Joe.Thanks for the reply. I'm in the AFcad division of Flight Ontario, so I don't get a chance to work with effects very often. I didn't even think to look at the effects SDK from Microsoft. Thanks!

If you can't find it, let me know, I think I have it. I downloaded all the sdk's. The Effects SDK is not too big either. I used it to do some parking lights that don't look very real.Joe W.
