July 7, 201213 yr I have searched for a set of textures to show runway skid marks and oil spots at the parking spots with no success. I am running Acceleration. Any help sure would be appreciated. Thanks, Bob.
July 7, 201213 yr REX will let you change all that stuff, it has a lot of different textures for airports, from crappy old beat up tarmac with marks all over it, to pristine new aprons ready for a visit from the Queen. Al Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
July 7, 201213 yr Author Hi Al. Thanks. I got it and installed it. It's great. I did not realize it was available for free. Now if I could find some textures for the runway skid marks I'd be set. Best regards, Bob.

July 7, 201213 yr Be aware of this issue, It's fx_skidmark.fx, located inside the main FSX effects folder. A file called skidmark cant be any good when it isn't actually providing any visible effects. Trashed it and now, no more fps drops, with hardbraking, on dry or wet runways. Problem solved, for me at least. If you feel you have no need for skidmarks(are they actually rendered?) , and are experiencing this problem as well, by all means get rid of the file. See if it helps you.

July 7, 201213 yr Cool, I was not aware of those freebies, and I am a Beta tester for REX. Cheers, Glen
July 8, 201213 yr Author Thanks to all that have answered my question. I am not satisfied with the stock FSX skidmark effect. I wanted more skidmarks. I do not have any pauses while hard braking. The free REX download fixed the oil spots on the parking spots. I might buy the full REX. Regards, Bob.
July 9, 201213 yr I am using Airport Enhancer from Cielosim. I love it and it's under $10. Lots of textures to choose from. Switchboard - Track Your Simulator Add-ons - Throttle Quadrant
July 9, 201213 yr Author Hi. Thanks. It looks GREAT! I never knew about it at all. I looked at the site and will download it. Regards, Bob.

See if it helps you. Removing the skidmark file, combined with the usage of the external FPS limiter, brought me FSX smoothness at last. I cannot stress this enough - SMOOTHNESS - like I have with Rise of Flight..absolutely ZERO chop now (except for ATC caused - when will we ever find a cure for that?) stable FPS at 28-30 virtually everywhere with virtually every 3D model...seriously
July 9, 201213 yr Author I am still using the stock skidmark effect and have never had any chop or FPS problems. Regards, Bob.
