• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Since reinstalling FSX my nav/beacon lights display with black boxes around them. I thought this was a well known problem/solution, but solution is apparently not replacing the the default effects files and I can't remember what else to try. Thanks in advance.
 
Hmm, replaced all of the texture and effects files with a stock copies taken from a previous (and functioning) installation...but the problem still persists. Any more ideas?

Have you tried running "repair" from your installation disk?

All of the default .fx files use fx_2.bmp file from the ..\Effects\Texture folder.
 
Interesting..I hope Henry is right. I've tried a repair re-install and that did me no good.
