When VFXCentral starts the first time you see an update dialog counting towards 100% and then a dialog box saying "Downloaded file is not signed from OldProp Solutions Inc."

In the temp folder I can find a file auto_updater.exe, which cannot run directly because it expects some parameter (saying "Missing update args").

The system OS is Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.192] 64-bit.

Your help is most appreciated!

My question is, which effects do I need to have to have the same effects as in the video. I can't understand what is causing the problem. The basic static camera that comes with the aircraft example "right wing" has some nice effects without even changing anything in Chaseplane. As soon as I made my own "camera" I don't have the same effects.

The effects can be seen in the video.

Basic Chaseplane static camera 00:00 - 00:53.

Own made Chaseplane static camera 00:54 -01:49.

Thank You :).

Regards Aemann.

I have read many solutions on the web, which clearly said there is an issue with the certificates on the computer. This is not true, first of all.

Firstly Merry Christmas,

I downloaded VFX and chase plane a while back (a month) and has previously mentioned in the forums peoples load times for VFX or Chaseplane to load have been quite long,

Im currently having this problem too, however ive tried every resolution people have done

  • Running as Admin
  • Uninstalling and Reinstalling
  • Uninstalling deleting hidden folders and Reinstalling again

However now i cant even get VFX to load up at all.

Any help would be greatly appreicated as i now cannot move camera view in any aircraft unless im in Virtual Cockpit Only View or F/O View.

Regards

Adam.

I am having troubles with VFX Central. It was just working when I was using it two days ago, but after it automatically updated today I have been unable to even start the program up. Every time I run it, it freezes on the loading screen. I have not ever encountered this issue before, and it only started to occur after VFX Central automatically updated the client today when I ran it.

After it updated, it seemed to work fine as the program was already running when it was updated. But I had to restart my computer for separate reasons and now ever since, I am unable to start it up at all.

I also uninstalled and re installed the client, and in addition I downloaded the latest VFX Central module from the FSFX website, and used that to re install, to no avail.

Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to read through all of this.

-Geoffrey

The latest update of VFXcentral has  just installed automatically. I have two packages installed - B737 immersion  and PrecipitFX. When I start VFX central it starts, but when I try to click on ether package to open a config page (page where you can choose different options -touchdown, contrails etc.), it is not opening and I keep getting the following message: 


" You need to have at least one compatible simulator installed to use this product. Please refer to your product's manual."


Plus I cannot disable an automatic update of VFX on a preference page - most of buttons are inactive


I use FSX and tons of other add-ons working properly. All effects inside FSX still present and work
