I cannot find anyone else with this issue but for some reason I cannot see the blue 'flame' coming from the exhaust, I did read the manual and I could not see anything in there about troubleshooting that so can someone please help me when you have the time of course, it is no biggie :)

Hi,Under Options/Display Settings/Hardware the Hardware-Rendered Lights may need to be set to a higher number, I suggest trying 6.Fred

Thank you for replying, I tried it but no love yet :(

You do try it with 30%+ power settings? It won't appear at idle/low throttle settings. Try "flooring it" and see if it shows then!

Are all 9 of the effects files fx_Turkey_***.fx that are listed in aircraft.cfg installed in your FS9/effects folder?

Yes, I have tried flooring it and yes, all nine effects are in my effects folder, thank you both for replying and trying to help but it is still not showing lol I am stumped on this one

JayKay, You *do* see the start-up smoke/flame effect ? You did try to see the exhaust flames during the day *and* night ? Did you try switching off VC lighting and/or other external lighting ? Still no exhaust flames ?....If you have our B-25 model, do you see the blue exhaust flames with that one ? Cheers,Jan

Just saw your reply and also thank you for your reply, however I was able to fix my problem by reloading my backed up effects folder and texture sub folder, thank you for your help all, your suggestions made me think of different avenues
