Hi, "I went ahead and unchecked 'landing lights' but alas still no illuminated ground from the FSX SF260 l/lights. Does this eliminate X-graphics as the cause I wonder? "-I forgot to told you, if you are using wx influenced and even categories unchecked in XG option, it will still install texture in fsx, it's a bug in XG that's is fixed now for sp1, to avoid this, when you click wx influenced, you must have XG and ASX open at the same time, it will not install texture unchecked in XG.-They do not get replaced if you manually install a theme from within XGraphics.ThanksChris Willishttp://www.hifisim.comhttp://www.hifisim.com/banners/hifi-dev-sigbanner.jpg
