Floating ship wakes?

[dfloth]

Greetings all,

 

Is anyone else experiencing floating ship wakes?

For me not all ships or water craft are doing this but after the latest Lib load I'm seeing it on a number of water traffic.

Any clue?

 

System specs include:

FSX_SE

FTX Global

FTX HD-Trees

 

Radeon R9 390 8gig

Eyefinity over 3 screens

AMD 4300 8 core

16 gig memory

 

Thanks in advance,
D-Man

The offending file that you have added to your effects folder is fx_wake_l.fx probably from a 3rd party ship/scenery, the file is made for FS2004 and has overwritten the original FSX version.

 

 

If you open your effects folder and then open the fx_wake_l.fx file with notepad and replace all the contents with this.....(but make a backup first just in case) Bruce.
