Afterburner effect gone haywire

[eraser_tr]

Ack! my Afterburner got screwed up somehow even though I can't remember ever doing anything to it, or overwriting it. I've reinstalled Deuces effects pack and overwritten everything, but nothing gets fixed.

 

The AB particle effect acts like if the TGA file isn't there and displays slightly colored, untextured squares. See attached picture.

Stupid question for ya:

 

1. Is it just your F-16, or all aircraft that use AB? When I first downloaded the Lightning, it did the same thing until I had it reference a specific afterburner tga file.

 

2. Does the referenced TGA file exist? If so, delete it (make a BACKUP), then pick another AB effect (use the AB effect pack I saw here on CA), rename it to the name of the file you just deleted, and move it to the proper directory.

 

If you've done all this, and it still doesn't work, then I'm at a loss...

Yup, all aircraft. Already tried different TGAs.

 

Oddly Afterburneremitter2 works perfectly.
