Hey! Im a guy from Barcelona. I've been a huge fireworks fan since I was really young.   I used different fireworks simulators and Finale3D is by far the best one. It has the most complete effects range, the design is amazing, simple yet super functional.   As I'm only an enthusiast I would really love to be able to have a less expensive version of the program, since paying an anual subscription of 350$ for something I only use as a game is quite expensive. I willl probably keep paying it anyways but still ... let me try to get a discount or something haha   I'm a big fan of all kind of fireworks shows, specially pyromusicals and  valencian daylight shows (mascletas) which is quite an experience. I attended the montreal competition (which im a huge fan of) several editions.      

Thanks Drew I will check what version i have downloaded.

Does anyone have a realistic VDL file for a Galaxis G-Flame?  Mine looks more like a white cryo jet than a flame. Im looking for something with some color and definition.   Thanks!

Is it possible to cut cakes – for example, a cake works for 10 seconds and I need 5   Hi Denis Morozov, The quantity of each product is limited to the amount shown in the "Available" column. This values are based on the real-life fireworks inventory that has been set aside for the competition. I completely understand the desire to modify cakes and other effects to produce the best possible show. However, for this competition, please use the products as they are presented in the catalog. Please do not break apart cakes or cut pre-made chains.

Best regards Johannes   Hi Pyro_2580000, Those chains are dark salute chains. They are listed as "Custom Peony" due to the shipping issues with shipping salutes out of china. Each salute has a handful of "dark comp" stars in them so they could be classified as a "color shell" under China regulations but actually have no color in the break itself. We then labeled them "Custom Peony" so we could differentiate on our end once we received them. It's sad this is what things have come to in the world of China manufacturing but we have to play the game I guess :-) The simulation in the catalog is accurate for these items.

Hi Rob, the latest full RELEASE was on 2021.11.17, this was slightly before conditional formatting was added. To get the conditional formatting, you need to install the 2021.11.19 BETA or a more recent BETA. To find the beta version(s), go to the Downloads page and scroll down.

I have the latest Pro release and don't have any conditional formatting were i can change colours in reports

Hi Rob,   A large section of conditional formatting options was added to reports in the 2021.11.19 release. If your running Finale 3D Pro and running this release (or a more recent release), then you should have access to the options. If not, please tell us more about the problem you are having.
