I have been trying to create a simulation for a ground Salute (bomb). The editor always puts in a minimum height of 4M. it launches the salute, and it goes off after it travels 4M before exploding. PFT is set to 0.0, but it still does not go off instantly which is what I am after. Does anyone have any Ideas?

OK, I understand how to do the ground salutes. So how do you do a 4″ Lampare with the fireball in the sky?
Here’s a link for a show file that contains a custom 4″ Lampare shell: https://finale3d.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/4in.-Lampare.fin
After opening the show in Finale 3D, you can go to the drop-down list in the Effects window and select Per-show effects. Then, you can right click on the lampare effect and Add to My Effects, which will make it easy to use the effects in other shows.
