My lens flare is gone...

Featured Replies

I just re installed FSX, and now the lens flare is not showing... I have assured that all the files are in place and that lens flare is turned on.

 

Anyone able to help me?

Were you flying at night?  :lol:

I rarely see it. Think there has to be very specific light and time conditions for it to work.

That's a good one!

Lighten up. FSX throws so many curves that nobody has all the answers. Nobody meant any harm. If you don't keep a sense of humor this stuff will drive you crazy.

FSX by itself or do you have Acceleration also?  If no Acceleration, did you install Sp1 and Sp2?

 

If all else fails, there are addons that help with sun flare and sun/moon water reflections.

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

Just in case you didn't know: lens flare only shows up in external views. Internal views don't have lens flare.

Sun Flare is available in every version of FSX ever released. It does not depend upon Acceleration, SP1, or SP2.

I have tried this one, but all I get is a flat sun without the flare/glare... I will post a few photos for people to see :)
