  1. Don't suppose anyone has any further insight on this? My Water detail is 1x and I've still had this exact issue with the ENB, and I despite messing with all the Day/Night settings I still have the problem of haze disappearing arbitrarily when looking down, particularly at high altitudes. What am I missing? I'm surprised this doesn't aggravate everyone who uses the ENB.
  2. While my FMS experiences were with the CJ2 Citation rather than the H25B, this seems to be the most comprehensive thread about the FMS loading issue so I'll put my thoughts here. I largely used the methods in this thread to solve the issue and really appreciate everyone's input here, and hope maybe my experience might help someone too. I've actually had to try to fix this twice; the first time it was as simple as following the instructions in the thread - edit the dll.xml, add the lines, job done. But this time around, trying to install it to Steam Edition, no amount of editing xml files would get it to work. Nothing in this thread would help me even though I knew everything here is correct and should, in theory, fix it. I came across a comment on another page saying that the game might be mixing up Steam Edition and Boxed Edition installation procedures and folders. So on a whim, I uninstalled Steam Edition and dug out my disc boxed copy of FSX Gold. I installed it, then installed the CJ2 - and it and the FMS ran perfectly, just like that. No editing required. There isn't even time to notice the database building when it installs correctly, it just works. On the other page I read that under AppData it could be incorrectly looking for an FSX-SE folder where the dll.xml could be. I anticipated that this folder appears when both boxed and Steam Edition copies are installed onto the system, and decided to reinstall Steam Edition to see. Curiously though, once SE was installed and loaded, no FSX-SE folder appeared in AppData, nor did it build any database files on first launch. It appeared to be using the exact same AppData folder as my boxed installation. So, seeing as it was effectively mimicking a boxed install, I installed the CJ2 to my Steam Edition, whilst telling the Carenado installer to do a boxed FSX installation to the Steam folder. And just like on boxed edition, it was a flawless installation. Loaded Steam Edition, the navigraph dlls made their permission requests, and the FMS ran flawlessly. This whole thing has been bizarre and I'm still not entirely sure what the problem was, though I suspect that confusion is created in general when Steam Edition and Boxed copies are installed to the same system, even if one or both are later uninstalled. I hazard a guess that if I did try to install to Steam Edition but asked the Carenado installer to do a Steam Edition install, it may not have worked, as the FSX-SE folder in AppData didn't exist. This has been a long post but believe me, when I was trying to fix this, I was soaking up every word I could find. I hope this can help someone.
