Hi,I think this is included or recommended as part of one of Holger's great scenery addons but I'm not sure. Anyway, you can all see what's wrong and I would appreciate any suggestions as to how I put it right. I am assuming it's a missing effects file for the ship's wake. The screen shot was taken near Juneau Intl.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/81129.jpgRight now, I'm scratching my head...hmmm perhaps it was unwise to include that comment..bound to invite trouble...LOLThanks,Mike

Guess I've got you all stumped?!Mike

hi,is that with coastal shipping 1 installed(by Brian Burger iirc)?if so,go to Prince George/CYPR and see if the maersk vessel outside that airport has the same issue.i know i do ;-)have no fix though,i suspect it'll be a macro thingy or somting.cheers

Hi Tom,"is that with coastal shipping 1 installed(by Brian Burger iirc)?if so,go to Prince George/CYPR and see if the maersk vessel outside that airport has the same issue."......yes, you are correct and yes, same problem at CYPR. I note there are 3 wake bmp files in the texture folder under CoastalShip1. Deleting them has no effect. May have something to do with the fact that this addon was originally intended for FS2002 - just a guess and quite probably wrong :(Cheers!Mike

Tom, to round this off, I've just installed the scenery in FS2k2 and the wakes are indeed there. However, instead of a white rectangle, there is a black one with the wake embedded. Sadly the texture is not stable and keeps flashing irregularly as if the placement has been at the wrong elevation. Ah well, I might try e-mailing Brian to see whether he is still around and remains interested.Cheers,Mike
