Black wingtip vortices

Post by malibu43 »

Looks like I screwed something up:

It looks like maybe I accidentally deleted and fx file or something. Can someone tell me which file I should look for? If it's OK with the forum rules, it would also be really helpful if someone could send me the missing file so I don't have to do a dummy install somewhere just to get it.

Thanks!

If you perform a reinstall over your current installation it will reinstall any missing files. Remember to backup your repaints and cfg for repaints.

thanks,

I think it is an effects file you are missing.

there are three of them.
fx_vortex.fx
fx_vortex2.fx
fx_voertices.fx

I would check and see if you have them and tell us what textures you have in your shared folder of the corsair.

Thanks! Non of those effects files are in my Effects folder. I try and get them through a reinstall later.

I reinstalled my AF F4U and it didn't include any of those files listed. I checked and then realized that stock aircraft had the same issue, meaning I had accidentally deleted a stock effect texture.

Luckily, I found this and was able to get it all straightened out!
