October 9, 200520 yr I have been working on a set of effects for aerial firefighting off and on for some time now. I've compiled a scenery with some forest fire effects, and also added a smoke effect to the plane for slurry drops.The scenery works fine. And the slurry drop effect works fine as well. But if I try to drop the slurry while within view of the fire effects, the slurry effects don't work.Is there some limitation on the use of smoke effects in both scenery and airplane, or a limit on the number of controllers/sprites etc? I've pored through the (sparse) SDK docs and can't seem to find a way to make this work.Is there an alternative manner to make the scenery fire area (i.e. with gmax or other) to preserve the smoke effect for the slurry drop?Also, I know that there are some airport sceneries that use radio freq settings to control jetways...is there a way to use a radio freq setting to toggle fire scenery effects on/off or to change to a rising steam effect etc? The idea is to write a gauge to quench the fire if the drop is a hit.CheersBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V L-300Santiago de Chile Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
