jgf Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 You have probably added something that replaced the FX files for those lights. You can see which files are used in the aircraft.cfg, the files themselves are in the effects folder (they are just txt files delineating the size and color of the lights, or other effects). Another possibility, but not likely, is some oddity with your vid drivers causing them to render the effects with a blue tinge. (If runway lights, street lights, etc., appear normally this definitely isn't the problem.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 ...or some add-on has replaced the texture bitmaps for the default nav and strobe lights in the Effects\texture folder.

il88pp Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 You have them on the disks. You can just pick them off those. See here where code on which disk to find the files you need. See the link Jim Robinson gives in his post. https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?245236-Contents-of-FS2004-disks&p=1656410#post1656410 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's so legal, so most probably won't. HOWEVER: you can reload them off of the original install disks for FS9. Just use the Repair feature. Alternatively, you can look on the disks for the files you need. I believe they are all in Zip files, so you can just find the zip file they're in, and unzip them back into your installation off the disks, overwriting what's already there. Personally, I use 7Zip for all things compressed. It's a small, freeware program, readily available on the net. Just Google 7Zip. That's the best I can offer... Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again!
