Yes, an email.sent to roadburner440. He is perhaps busy now so havent received any reply to give me access to the support forum. But I'm really really curious about why the night lighting doesnt work, and neither does the ACM. No one here seems having had the issue..been trying to sort this out for hours and reading all the related threads here in SOH, updating directx, getting the latest GPU driver, turning off antivirus, run as admin, experimenting with screen resolution, and turning off the dx10, bloom and creating new fsx.cfg. Any ideas? I could have waited till tomorrow but The Phantom is very good!!
