October 26, 20187 yr I recently added an add-on aircraft file and found the representation of things like smoke from industrial smoke stacks, ship wakes, aircraft engine exhaust and the like is not opaque black rather than the normal whitish color. Can someone tells me which file(s) might be involved and how I might return it to the proper state? Thanks for your help...
October 26, 20187 yr Administrators Are you saying that normal looking white smoke and exhausts are black? If so, you have corrupted effects files. Look for this file in the AVSIM Library (Library is a separate login) gauges_recovery_fsx.zip. Download this and run it. I'm assuming you are using FSX in the disc version and not FSX-SE?

October 27, 20187 yr It is possible that the add-on aircraft came with it's own smoke effects file and was corrupt or incorrect for FSX.
