August 9, 201114 yr This is not a NGX specific issue, however occurred after the install of NGX. I have got the stupid black contrails caused by the missing texture file. Does anybody have a replacement copy of the contrail files that can be used. I have so many addons that an FSX repair from the disc will just cause more headaches than it is worth. Thanks, Branton Turner
August 9, 201114 yr Commercial Member That would be fx_smoke.bmp located in ..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Effects\texture\ Unable to make an attachment to this post, but if you submit a support ticket from our support portal, just ask for a copy of smoke.bmp for the contrail effect, and we'll send you a copy.

August 17, 201114 yr I replaced the file but still no change, this really sucks. I unintalled several addon AC recently which probably caused this issue. Does repair screw everything up if I go that route. I cant find CAB files on the FSX disc. I believe another effect files is also missing, another post mentioned another file associated with the smoke and contrails effect. these files are also missing .... fx_1.bmp fx_2.bmp fx_3.bmp fx_5.bmp Can these be obtained from anywhere? Repair sounds tedious according to other post. I have the awful nightmare of reinstall if something gets screwed up Timothy Murphy
