Touch Down

[Pepere]

For some reason my touch down, dirt, and water spray on my aircraft stoped working a while back. Anyone got any suggestions?

A addon killed the textures probably...It happens..

Youi probably need to get the FX files and add them back in...

Textures

Some add-ons either overwrite textures or just delete them...Don't know why but it has happened to me...You need to replace one or all of the following default FSX textures;

FX_1.bmp
FX_2.bmp
FX_3.bmp
FX_5.bmp

You should be able to find them on one of the install disks...

Yep missing FX_1.bmp for sure and the others may not be correct. Nice!

Thanks guys...

Can't get them from the install Dvd. Are FS9 the same? If not where would I pick them up. Sears, or what?

Files

They are the same on FS9...If you still can't get them, PM me with your email and I will send them to you...

Thanks Steve. I had it on a backup copy of the fsx effects folder on another computer. Thank God for Backing up! It was the FX_1.bmp file that does the touch down. thanks again!

Good!

Glad you got it...I keep those files in a separate folder on my HD as they have been erased so many times...I don't know why a developer would intentionally erase a default FSX file...Those files also effect some smoke effects, like from chimneys, etc...
