It works on NVidia and AMD dedicated graphics cards, and you can switch it off under Preferences > Graphics if you prefer. Mortar sparks and launch flames re-tuned: denser, finer mortar sparks, and launch flames that are smaller overall and grow with the caliber. Effect Editor: build better effects, fasterS

In this update: Better performance when editing your show, especially on large shows with many cues New option: “Reverse Order on Timeline” (CTRL + SHIFT + R). Use this when you make a stepper out of single cues and you want to reverse the order. The timeline now looks much better when you zoom out very far. Your show will look cleaner and it’s easier to make edits even at extreme zoom levels. Better thumbnail images

Exciting news!You can now select your favorite effects and then insert them with just one click. This massively speeds up the show design process, so you can focus on your creativity.Furthermore:Press TAB key to jump forwards to the next beat in the musicWhen you move the playback cursor, it snaps to beats in the music and to existing cues on the timeline.You might have two cues overlap in the timeline by accident. If that happens, FWsim will make them transparent.Effect lines now indicate the actual height of the effect for shells.Give it a try and let us know how it works for you!

Hi FWsim fans! In 2023, we added a feature to load Google Earth 3D scenery into FWsim (avabile under Show -> Scenery -> "Real Location"). We also added a water system, allowing you to add water to the scenery (available under Show -> Scenery). Usually, this works really well: set the water height correctly, and it blends in nicely with the Google Earth data However, in some locations there is a "spillover" effect, where water enters areas that should be dry: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/39347348/a446711136d7852dd9950b12968b76ad09060fae.png Here's how to solve this: 1.

Dear FWsim Community, we are excited to announce this beta update with the following features: Loading the entire World in 3D FWsim could load 3D models in the past. But if you wanted to simulate a real place, you might face challenges. You’d either have to make your own 3D models or try to find the desired building models online. Yet, typically, you’d only find isolated buildings, not the entire landscape. The latest version, FWsim 3.5, solves this problem. Now, you can launch fireworks anywhere in the world, in 3D. It not only provides the location you want, but also includes the entire surr
