How to get RID of FLASHING clouds

[BFMF]

Look in the main FSX directory...

The ultimate culprit lies in the material handling of the cloud shader.

Go to this folder:

FSX\ShadersHLSL\misc

There you will find a file called SwarmCloud.fx. Make a backup copy of this file somewhere. (as always no crying if you don't do this step)

Open the original SwarmCloud.fx in notepad or wordpad and then look down about 20 lines down from the top. You will see this entry:

bool NewMaterialUsage = true;

Change its value from true to false. Make sure to keep the semi-colon.

Save and close the file.

OK I see the confusion....


in the directions... this folder: FSX\ShadersHLSL\misc is NOT the one in the shader cache directory... its in:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft games\Flight Simulator X\ShadersHLSL\misc

Thank you Nick, that cleared everything up.

No problem

I changed the directions in the first post... sorry about the confusion


Thats what I get for posting a quote and not writting it up myself

I usually take that stuff into consideration when I write instructions

Nick, can you explain why the clouds flashed before this fix?
