Hi all

This problem occurs whenever dirt, tyre smoke, water spray or aerobatic smoke is supposed to happen. I'm really stuck and can't figure it out!

 

Thanks in advance.

From the photo it appears your computer is really struggling to render textures.

I had this problem, It is caused by a missing effect file. If you can try repairing fsx. or take this link https://www.mediafire.com/#myfiles and download the fx_1.bmp and place it in your 

 Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Effects\texture.

 

 

Hope this helped
