Hello Edward
infortunatly I can’t come back to version 7.9.8 on our FLX48.
But, I did some experiences on phantom on my PC.
I desintalled Phantom 7.9.8 and re-installed it from file extracted from Zero88 web site.
After that I see in system information that the library version is 035. See photo 1.
In this configuration, effects correctly works for my motorized spots. See photo 2
To continue my experience, I loaded the library version 1.00. See photo 3
Now the effects no more work. All previous one are now grey. See photo 4
When I pushed the « automatic create effect » button, all grey buttons disappear. See photo 5.
To summarize, From my point of view the problem is more from library 1.00 than from 7.9.8 version.
best regards
Michel
