I had a similar, if not the same problem.
Turns out I didn't have the effect textures in the texture sub folder located in the effects folder.

Well that sounds confusing.

Where can I get the textures from or where do I copy them from then?

Thanks for helping. Sam Grin

Well if that is the DSB Typhoon, they should be in the effects folder that comes with the a/c.

I just added those effects to the effects folder itself, I'm really confused ??? ??? was I meant to keep that in a special subfolder?

Cheers. sam ???

Move the the file "fx_efa"
(typhoon_11 \ typhoon_11 \ effects \ texture)

to the texture folder in the FS main effects folder.
(C:\ Program Files \ Microsoft Games \ Flight Simulator \ Effects)

Now if that doesn't help, I'm just as confused as you.

I knew I should have used the JPG instead of the BMP.

Hey Steevo, I was halfway through re-downloading the typhoon and felt a bit bored so started looking at the other items on the page. I then realised that under the typhoon was a new AB effect by an unknown author. Looks nice from th pic, going to install it now and take a pic to show you. lol, Sam Grin

The patch can be found at the FS2002 Military page 39, just under the Typhoon itself. Cheers for the help Steevo Wink
