I don't know if you have a heavily modified sim, but you could try this:

Rename you FS9 main folder to something else and then do a clean install of FS9 in a new folder with the same name as your old FS9 folder. If you have a default install it should be called "Flight Simulator 9". Install the 9.1 patch FROM WITHIN the main FS9 folder. If you don't do it that way you WILL corrupt some dll's.

Install the bloom effect files right after you've installed the 9.1 update and see how it works out.

Now move and/or reinstall every addon you've had installed in your original sim back to the new installation. Generally you shouldn't have an issue with aircraft or scenery addons that you just move from folder to folder. I think the issue occurred when you (possibly) used an auto-installer, check after every time you've added something if you still have an issue with the bloom effect.

Let me know how it works ... Wink



thanks for your help I will give it try and tell you what happen

What are your specs by the way ? And also, are you using XP or Vista ?

This:    GTA San Andreas beta v0.074h test 6

is no longer available here:    http://boris-vorontsov.narod.ru/download_en.htm

The closest version I could find was v0.074hTest 10, and I tried your .ini set ups, the default and the others for old cards and such, all I get is a completely white screen in FSX & FS9? Undecided  Might be my system, might not, anyone willing to send me a link to the original version or maybe just email me the file itself? This way I'll know for sure if it's my system or the version of the effect I have.
Thanx for all help! Cool

All right, here's the results:
FS9- works perfect using any of the .ini's just a matter of personal taste.

FSX- same problem so now I'm pretty sure that it's something in my system, I saw that someone else in this thread had the same GC that I do and he had a similar problem. So I imagine I'll just have to tweak around on my card to see if that helps, Thanx again for the file! Wink

That's really strange... the screen goes white as soon as you press SHIFT+F12 ?  Huh
Must be something with your video card settings for sure... or maybe the drivers...

Another couple of comparison shots: what you get from the virtual cockpit in a FS9 plane in an evening flight over the Swiss mountains.

Okay I tried it just then.

I downloaded the package a from a few posts above, unzipped it, copied the DLL and ini files straight into the FSX main folder, copied the 8600 enbseries file into there too.

Load up, try the shortcut (shift+F12) and nothing. No change.


Any thoughts on what might be going wrong?

You have to check the cfg file to see what kind of effects are activated inside. I am using this module with the latest ini I posted some pages ago, and whenever I press SHIFT+F12, the difference you can see in my last screenshots appear.

Perhaps the key combo in the ini you are using is not the same.
First of all, try using the ini I am using, I'm quoting it below. Copy-paste this into your ini and tell me if it works. Try at dawn or dusk for a more noticable effect. During full day, it can be hard to notice any difference. Also, be sure to be in full screen, just in case.

Very strange... you might want to try new video drivers, but I am very surprised that you cannot see anything... Not even a screen flash or anything ?

Hi all,
Just got the bloom effect and I've posted some screenshots of it here: http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1247675824/0
As yet I think it might be a bit bright, but at least it works! Smiley
