Hey guys,Since I installed GEX Europe all my effect files are black:( The texture subfolder in the effects folder is gone. No idea how and why that happened (some secret silly copy protection

And so...how many of you have NOW made a backup of your 3.5M effects folder or your 25M gauges folder?Heck, the whole dang default install is just 13G... Why haven't you made a copy?You may be the one to need it next.Loyd

Black smoke happens when installing newer versions of Shader Models (Bojote's one, for example).

Do forgive those of us who have not spent the last six years learning all the ins and outs,  look I don't mean to be rude but I thought I recently joined a Willing and considerate gang of like minded people, who would be Happy to share wisdom and knowledge, I mean what is my 3.5M? or my 25M Folder, where are these things, do  I have a spare 13G? I don't know  all this stuff, does that make me...... I just wanted to fly got black smoke, came here, and ? ^

Hi Guss,

 

This is quite an old thread, but hopefully I can help. Chances are you've got a corrupted file called fx_1.bmp. If you pm me. , I'll pass on a copy of the file along with some instructions.

 

Best wishes,
