Just what is this paticular file and is it a master default file?
fx_.bmp file

I ask because it seems some effexts i have dont work. Such as seeing fire.
 
Doesn't look right....possibly a default effects file whose name was changed by an addon aircraft or something? I know that some of the addons I have installed 'change' certian conflicting files (by re-naming) so as not to create a conflict. Hope that helps.
 
It is an effects texture file that goes in the effects texture folder.
Double Left click it ,it should open up to show what it does .
I don't have that file , I have fx_1.bmp , 2 , 3 and 5 in mine .
 
Actually, to see all the bmp's characteristics, it is best to open these with Imagetool. You will see the MIPs and the Alpha channel attributes.
 
Tim, I agree with Felix. Some addon's been messing with your default files. Just re-extract them off CD1 and you should be fine.
