I have seen this in the past with all Arrow/Warrior versions in P3D and never managed to get rid of. This smoke effect that shows like black squares. I have already tried to delete shaders and also reinstalled P3D v4 Content with no luck. Is it an effect that I can disable somehow? |

Hi Dimus, The Arrow and Warrior use default effects which should be included in your P3D installation: water=fx_spray dirt=fx_tchdrt concrete=fx_sparks touchdown=fx_tchdwn_s, 1 Can you try commenting out those lines in the aircraft.cfg file (add // to the start of each line) to see if the effect disappears?

Thanks Martyn, and sorry for the late reply as I was travelling. I tried eliminating all the effects one by one. The offending effect is the fx_dummy for startup, which uses an aurora.bmp texture. Once commented out, no problem, although now another effect with white smoke and some black smoke appears on startup, which actually shows nice. Edit: I just realized that you use the fx_dummy effect because you simply do not wish to have a startup effect. It seems however that the texture used by the fx_dummy effect, the fx_aurora.bmp, somehow renders like this in my install. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

Hi Dimus, As you've noted, the dummy effect is used as the Warrior doesn't require a smoke effect for engine start. It sounds like another developer has added an actual effect with that name to the effects folder within P3D, causing it to load/use that effect. I'd suggest leaving it commented out.

| You are absolutely right Martyn. I have actually found which one it was and I'm taking it up with them. Apologies for the fuss. |
