You beat me to it! Another couple of masterpieces by Sir Milton and crew. How'd you build the fire? Is that a scenery add-on or a hidden FSX feature?

I have dragged and dropped the excellent 2004; "FireDash Package" by Greg Ebnit, into my FSX, and it works fine!

Places fires in the San Gabriel Mountains above San Bernardino, Malibu, San Diego, and Lake Tahoe.

I remember following the 2007 devastating California fires in the daily news broadcasts at the time.

(Lots of good FS2004 scenery works a treat in FSX...always worth a try!).

Thanks guys!

I can put fire wherever I want it using Airport Design Editor. Just find a place
where you want to put a forest fire and copy down the coordinates and elevation
from your flight sim. Then I use ADE (Airport Design Editor), a free program, to
place the fire. It's a default FSX effect......In ADE just right click on the screen and choose "Add Effect".
Scroll down until you see fx_ForestFire.......


Unfortunately the retardant does not put out the fire........it does leave a nice red stripe though O0
