Hi Clive,
Near the bottom of the main forum page is a "Help and Troubleshooting" section for issues people are having.  Have you checked to see if this has already been discussed?  Black objects are common errors with missing textures.

Win10Pro64, MSFS 1.25.9.0, P3Dv4.3.29.25520, AMD Ryzen7 1800X@3.6 GHz , 32Gb RAM, GTX 1080 Ti, 2x42" Vizio Monitors, HTC Vive VR HMD, Saitek Yoke/Pedals/trim wheel, XBox360 Controller, G27 steering wheel w/shifter+pedals. :P

Are the balloons part of "Acceleration" (air races?). Not sure?  Do you have it, just wondering.

Updated: thanks Jeff.

The balloons come from a Rwy12 object file called add_balloons.bgl. ;)   I couldn't find "texture" files for the balloons, but make sure your Runway 12 Object Library is installed and working correctly.  I don't think Acceleration is a requirement for Rwy12?  ??? :-\

Yep, it was the Runway 12 library. I re-installed it and now back to normal.
Problem was not knowing where the textures are stored.

Many Thanks

Clive

I'm pretty sure the textures are the 12 files in the texture folder that start with "sk_balloons_" Jeff.  Glad you fixed your problem Clive.  I did notice there is one black balloon in the mix, the MIA/POW memorial  being the one that should be black.
