A global "Visual Effects Utility" covering a range of immersive scenarios and aircraft.

BUY IF: You want a range of Visual Effects across multiple aircraft in your hangar as well as environmental effects. WARNING MARKETPLACE ONLY BUYERS: If you are on Xbox/PC and only use only/mostly Marketplace purchased aircraft, YOU WILL HAVE LESS COMPATIBLE AIRCRAFT than others due to Microsoft's encryption.

Continuing our legacy from FSX/Prepar3D, we introduce our advanced VFX expertise to MSFS with SimFX. This add-on isn't just an enhancement; it lays the groundwork for our upcoming "Immersion Packs." Each particle on your screen realistically responds to environmental variables. The dynamic effects appear under specific conditions, enhancing your virtual skies with features like contrails and Auroras, driven by live data.

Sky full of Contrails Enhanced contrails create lasting, expansive lines across the horizon, dynamically adjusting to weather conditions and functioning with various traffic types (AI, Multiplayer Traffic, VATSIM & more...).

Yours are fluffy! Your aircraft’s contrails appear cloud-like and dense, changing with the sun's position.

Engine / APU Heat Blur We've revamped the heat blur effect for dynamic, realistic visuals, working seamlessly with supported aircraft.

Engine Blast Experience powerful engine blast effects on soft and wet surfaces, displacing dirt and water for enhanced realism.

Wing Wash Observe dramatic effects from wings lifting, with dirt and moisture visibly stirred from surfaces during takeoff and low flyovers.

Rotor Wash Helicopters benefit from customizable effects that vary with size and surface interaction, applicable and configurable to multiplayer/AI helicopters.

Engine Pollution Ideal for vintage, military, and heavy lift aircraft, this feature adds realistic exhaust plumes, visually emphasizing their power and history.

Touchdown Smoke Our 'Tire Smoke' effect vividly marks each touchdown, enhancing landings with dramatic smoke.

Wheels on Rain The 'Wheels on Rain' effect makes taxiing and landing on wet runways visually engaging, enhancing maneuvers in the rain.

Wheels on Dirt The 'Wheels on Dirt' effect adds immersion to taxiing and landing on unpaved runways, making each maneuver visually striking.

Auroras SimFX includes animated auroras for both poles in one package, offering infinite experiences.

Shooting Stars Seasonally accurate shooting stars enhance your sky, making each sighting a moment to wish upon.

OK, let's get nerdy... SimFX effects are fully customizable via an in-game panel. Adjust everything from contrail size to heat blur temperature. Choose manual control or opt for our DYNAMIC tuning to optimize each effect.

Dynamic Performance Tuning Set your effects to Overall Quality—DYNAMIC, and our intelligent system will adjust the rendering in real-time to maintain your desired setting. Choose from Performance, Balanced, or Quality options, and let us handle the optimization. Our system smartly manages resources, even hiding effects outside the aircraft when in inside view, to ensure your frame rate remains optimal without compromising on visual fidelity.

Per Aircraft Customizations Customize visual settings per aircraft type, allowing for fine-tuning or use of default effects, ensuring total control over each flight's visual appearance.

Informative Sidebars Our UI section displays detailed effect information, necessary rendering conditions, and real-time data graphs, providing a comprehensive understanding of your environment and the SimFX effects.
