Before you do the up rez, you have to save your low rez sim to disk (go to the low rez geometry container and in the dop import, render out the low rez sim) then go to your dop network and switch to up rez, and hit play.

I'm having the same problem, and more.
I'm new to Houdini, and have Maya & Max burned into my cerebum, so I'm possibly getting making very simple mistakes.
Following the Pyro FX tutorial video I too get no Upres version of the lowres pyro. I've rendered the lores to disk cache, and changed to Upres in the switch node… the first frame appears correct, but the following frames are no different; there's no combustion (that's how it appears anyay), just that glowing sphere…
I do have another issue which may or may not be related: Houdini isn't loading the cached pyro files. Load From Disk is checked in the Pyrofields node params, but it insists on rendering out the simulation when I switch back to Lores after rendering the Upres. The cache files are rendered in sequence ($F) so it's not that…?
Using a mac (OS 10.5.6) the cache files will only render to dfx, whereas the docs (indeed the default file fields) talk about ngeo and geo… I assume this is normal and they're just not updated? It won't actually let me specify an ngeo extension.
Any and all help appreciated… This feels like a lovely app and I can smell the power, but right now it feels like I've stepped through the rabbit hole and forgot to bring a torch

Ok that was strange.
I resolved the file format issue at least by setting HOUDINI_USE_NATIVE_FILE_CHOOSER in the environment file.
No idea why, but this had two side effects (pun not intented):
- Upres works now - and the uprespyro node is no longer harzarded out, so that's clearly a bad thing to see.
- Playback is vastly faster on cooked simulations.
Unfortunately when I switch back to lowres it still insists on cooking the DOP Network, instead of loading the cache. So any ideas on this still appreciated!
Cheers

new version here, render for almost 10 hrs.
I think this version is kind of good.

I try to add a force to simulate the rocket launch.
It simulates about 4 hrs. Nice quality and cost.
Trying to do more test then make a demo reel.
