Black smoke

[Sky Visitor]

I have just installed Orbx Wales. I have been using the GEX and UTX Europe scenery, both of which

are still installed and being used. When flying from Cardiff airport (UK2000) and taxi-ing a lot of black 

smoke is shown plus lumps of black matter from the wheels as though the wheels are digging in to the 

tarmac of the taxi way. Does anybody know what is going on here 

and is there a rectification for it?

 Thanks Jaap.

 

P.S. I was going to include a picture for clarification, but can't find out how it is done.

Thanks Vlad, Hope this link works for the screen shot  

I tried this link and it works. I've found that the problem has something to do with

the weather programs in Orbx. After removal of Orbx and the weather choices the problem

is no longer there. I also have a weather addon---FSrealWXlite and the smoke shows 

when using the real weather set up. Also when I program the weather myself in FSX.

If however I use the default weather settings from FSX then there is no smoke.

If we are talking little black squares flying off the wheels, I believe this is a corrupt or missing fx texture file.  fx_1.bmp has been implicated in some of these cases

 

It rings a bell somewhere.  I am not aware of any reports associated with any Orbx products before, however.  Much more likely a 3rd part addon aircraft messing with fx files ... but nothing is impossible

 

Some reports here:

Hi Ian, the file fx_1.bmp was indeed missing. After downloading Gauges Recovery for FSX and running the program

fx_1.bmp is now back in the effects folder and all is o.k.

Thanks for the help from you and Vlad.
