June 26, 201411 yr I am looking for suggestions for an exhaust smoke issue in FSX. For no apparent reason the add on jets are now belching thick black smoke and rather than a nice plume the smoke exits the jet pipe in black squares !!?? I suspect the EFFECTS folder is corrupt but any ideas for a fix would be welcome. Thanks. Buster. HTPC. HX750 PSU. Asus Z87 Pro. i7 4770k (stock) 8 GB DDR3 Dominator RAM @ 1866 mhz.

July 1, 201411 yr Author Charliearon. I ran the programme in basic FSX, SP1 & SP2 mode but it did not fix the problem. I have a second installation of un activated and un packed FSX in a different folder that I use for "spare parts" I copied and pasted the fresh EFFECTS folder in to my primary FSX and it fixed the problem.
