Ship Wakes...

Featured Replies

The default FSX ship that sails around the Niagara River below Niagara Falls has a wake that goes straight up into the air.  Is there a fix for that?

I have Nielsen's World Wide Shipping that has fixes for his ships that did that in FSX.  But this is a default ship (I think) that just makes circles below the falls.

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

It's caused by a faulty effects file, possibly corrupted.  I wonder if  this file from the Library would fix that?

gauges_recovery_fsx.zip  This is  normally used to fix black contrails and other corrupted effects.

I downloaded and ran the recover program Charlie but that didn't work.  Thanks anyway.

Bummer!  I think the offending effect is called fx_wake_1.  Have you looked through your Simobjects/boats to figure out exactly which boat/ferry it is?  Have you seen any other boat or ship with the vertical wake?

It's the only one I have come across that has the vertical wake.  But I've not been seeking any out.  It's a default ship I think since it's only around Niagara Falls.  None of the other default ships or boats have them.
