So, I'm not really sure what I did, but I guess the fact that I've been adding many add-ons is to blame. But the game's lighting textures kinda stopped working. Idk what I did but any help is appreciated c:

One of the add-ons has likely overwritten a default texture or effect file. Unfortunately, simply removing the add-ons might not be enough to fix it.
Try restoring (system restore) to a point in time when you knew the sim was working properly.

Another choice would be to re-run the installer again. It'll replace any textures that you've added. Then just reinstall you add-ons one at a time until you find the problem software.

The more experience you have, the less likely you are to do that again. We've made the same mistakes at one time or another.

Something I learned the hard way is before you make any changes to any existing program set a system restore point this way you can all ways go back. It has saved my bacon more than once.
One other point is unless you totally trust the vendor stay away from any addon that has a self installer with it. Failure to do so can be hazardous to ones state of mind.
Some people though they may mean well can really create chaos with FSX or FS9 because they do not know what they are doing. If you should ever get a warning while adding an add on that there is an existing file with the same name on your system you best stop and think twice before you overwrite it.
You have been warned it is never a good idea to go about making changes to any program without stopping and checking out what has changed after each addon.
Following these simple rules will usually keep you out of trouble

I ended up just reinstalling it, so I don't end up either messing up my computer, or messing up the program further. Thanks guys though for the help!
