OK...if you look at the picture - you can see part of the wing is missing - as i slew around - I can see the pixel motion and change as if the smoke was visible. It is not. If I zoom out, I reach a point where my screen turns a brown (exhaust) color - until I either zoom out further - or zoom in closer.
(yeah the pictures are labled backwards - sorry)
I have the default files in my effects folder
Anyone know whay this may be hapening or how to make it back to normal?
Thanks
Andy

Andrew,
I had a similar problem like this on FSX. In my situation the problem was a result of a bad AFCAD file that was causing the terrain to overlap parts of the scenery at PAJN. Also, if this is add on scenery make sure that in the scenery library the priority is layered correctly. Does this only occur using a particular airport or aircraft?

nope - all airports and in flight - all aircraft...it's not limiting my flight sim experience - it's just bugging me that it's just gone. I'll go through and see how the scenery library priority is layered (not that I really know what that means - but I think I understand)!

Try finding new smoke and effect files and installing them on your computer, although you have the default files, they may be corrupted and need replacing. I'm not really sure, but I think that I had a problem like this as well. In my case I believe it was the video card, but try reinstalling the files before you mess with your graphics.
Regards,

Since the problem is occurring at all airports it likely has nothing to do with your scenery library. As far as priority I was referring to if you are using anything like FS Genesis mesh or Ultimate Terrain, etc that it does not cause a conflict with any add on scenery.
Here is a post from a different forum on the same topic if it helps.
