All Contrails, Vapor Trails, Touchdown smoke ETC are black and boxy clouds..... Anybody encounter this before? Could somebody (who is very awesome and kind) possibly just zip and send me their effects folder?

Thanks

black and blocky would indicate a possible graphics issue, might want to check into that

Yes, I've upgraded all drivers and the gfx card runs smoothly as does my game. I'm quite convinced it's just a damaged texture/missing texture(s).....

if its just missing, browse your FSX CD, you can grab any file that gets corrupt or missing off it. gauges, aircraft, sounds, effects, all can be pulled without reinstalling

If anybody wants to know, replacing the default texture files from a friend did the trick
