Hi Jim!I think that finaly we are on to something here!!!Here

PedeOne of the ways to get fx_2.bmp would be to use the repair option that comes with FSX - - This is not a reinstall just a repair.However here's mine if you want it - Sorry it says that I am not permitted to upload this type of file ie bmp or zipRegardsPeterH

Hello Peter!I wrote you a personal message, let me know if you read it:)Pedemeyer

The post in the link you gave, explains that a file called "FX_2.bmp" must be present.As far as I can see its not! Do you think this will solve my problem?If so.., one more question.., where do I get a new fx_2.bmp?Best regardsPede Meyer

Peter Hayes has the best solution (sending you a copy of FX_2.bmp). I lost my fx_2.bmp too after uninstalling the Shockwave lights (you have to do it manually and I screwed up somewhere). This afternoon I decided to do the repair option but I had FSX Acceleration installed so had to uninstall that first. That was some chore! I swear it took over 30 minutes for it to uninstall. Then I inserted the original FSX disks and tried a "repair". LOL. Impossible! It kept telling me I had a later version installed and closed. My only option left was to completely uninstall FSX. I did and I swear it took at least an hour for that to be completed too; then another 45 minutes (at least) to reinstall FSX/FSX Acceleration. But I got fx_2.bmp back into the Effects/Textures folder!!! Now I'm going to have to reinstall all my addons but not a problem as I can take my time with those. Best regards,Jim Young

JimThanks for that info - a repair install seems to be quite an involved affair.PedeI have emailed the file to you - BTW I do not have square lights with this file!! :( RegardsPeterH
