KORD green taxi lights

(1/5) > >>

plowry:
I have run KORD for FSX on an XP system for some time with no problems.  I have now upgraded to Vista 32 bit and on reinstalling this airport I find the green taxiway lights appear as black or white rectangular blobs (at dusk or night only).  Everything else seems to be as it should be.  I have tried reinstalling several times to no avail and wonder if someone might be able to help me get the lights turned on.

Mr. Peter Lowry,

Regarding the LIGHTS:

Sounds like a problem/corruption with the "HALO.bmp" file; Some addon aircraft, like the CLS F-117, or sceneries, use this file to enhance their aircraft/airport lighting, and their makers modify/replace this file so when FS goes to use it for default lighting, you get problems.
This file is found in this location: ...\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Texture\

You may want to restore your original "Halo.bmp" FSX file.  Also, check to see if this happens in FSX DX10 Preview mode as well as the FSX DX9 one?  If it does in the 1st and not the second DX modes then it has obviously been changed by some addon.

Good Luck!  :D

Thanks very much.  The only addon aircraft I have installed is the Flight One Pilatus PC-12. I am afraid preview modes are beyond me at present. Can you tell me if it is possible to restore the original file without actually uninstalling and reinstalling FSX?  I am unable to find it on the discs using Explore.

Peter. 

JamesChams:
Mr. Peter Lowry,

If you can't find it, then its been deleted/corrupted.  You'll have to use the original FSX file; It would be hard for you to retrieve it from FSX DVD without a reinstallation; So, I'll just give you a copy of that original file.

Attached is the "HALO.BMP" in a Zip file which you should extract/copy and paste in the location: "...\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Texture\"

Good Luck!  :D
