December 29, 201411 yr Hi, Anyone else noticed that they miss some effects in FSX-SE version? i have only installed steam version of FSX, all files are there where they should be, installed PMDG MD11, no problem when installing it, accepted all elements in Trusted Section! (All 3 PMDG.dll's and 2 MD11dll's), every instrument in cockpit is working nicely, great fps in game, but when in spot view i see i misses nav, strobe and beacon lights. Anyone lese noticed it? Later i installed some scenery's and noticed same thing, lights in scenery who comes from effect files is missing, runway, papi etc working normal... Someone who can explain this or is it a bug in FSX-SE? Btw, have tried several drivers for my GTX780 card, with no luck. (i'm on Win7 x64)
December 29, 201411 yr I agree, there is also an topic on the Steam forums regarding these problems. Effects won't work in FSX SE until Dovetail released a patch.
December 29, 201411 yr Just found out that when you LOWER the level of special effects to e.g. medium you can see the effects again. Setting HIGH level of special effects give me zero effects. Seems to be a bug but for me it solved the effects issue for now. Not sure this works for all effects but just give it a try ;-)
December 29, 201411 yr Wow! Amazing find Patrick. Thanks for that! I confirm your find here, the effects come back. Only to find what is turn off with special effects in medium? Again, nice find!

December 30, 201411 yr Great spot, Patrick. When FSX-SE installs the Effects slider defaults to High. I was puzzled by the absence of a wake when flying the Grumman seaplane. Your suggested move to Medium cured the problem immediately. Many thanks Frank Regards Frank Jones

This game was at least £50 when i bought it and now its £19.99?!! This is unfair! Can you even add planes and use VATSIM with this? It's a disgrace! Why do you need to start selling it? It's not like you are planning to do anything with it! This is a bit like trying to sell Minecraft for £2!!"

December 30, 201411 yr Moderator Yes, there are many rather ignorant posts there. Unfortunately quite a few are being made by self-proclaimed "long time simmers..." :Shame On You: Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator
