light from engines

hey people.

i have a problem for awhile. when i started playing this game i saw the red and blue light coming out of my engines and all, but it stopped working well, and now it only works when i equip a set like breen, borg or aegis set.

how do i put this back online so it works even without those sets?

    You may have to right-click the icon on the 'U' screen, and select "enable visuals". Although I've never seen the standard warp and impulse engine trails stop working. I didn't think you could turn them off either...

    thats just not possible for normal engines :/ there are just simply no trails.. only for sets.

    here is a picture to let you see what i see:

    its on full power, just the normal engines, and just nothing... not even to another ship. (except if they equipped borg, aegis or breen set)

    Have your graphics settings been changed, or possibly due to the DX11? I noticed when I played STO on a laptop when I lowered the settings from what I have on my desktop it didn't show the trails.

    i tried as you said, and i put everything to max, and i do actually see them now, it just takes a little heavy for it. i guess i just have to play with it a little so everything runs smooth, thanks for the tip!

    problem solved
