Help please! Robot Game Starter Kit booster effects

Question

I have been converting the Robot Game Starter Kit to 4.0 and Reach on PC. But for some reason, I can't get the booster flame to show correctly. All of the other effects (lens flare, gun flames, explosions), work great, but only black lines come out of the booster engine when turned on.

Here is where I draw the particles:

VB

particleBoosterOn[i] = GameParticle.PlayParticle(
                                          ParticleType.BoosterOn,
                                          BoneTransforms[index],
                                          fixedAxis);

The method called simply draws a particle texture add the correct location. The booster worked fine on HighDef, but it looks really bad on Reach.

Help please.

Actually I figured this out. The textures were being rendered with the wrong sprite batch arguments, and so it didn't work.

This was also an effect of switching to the Reach profile, which does not support everything HighDef does :(.

But, I know what's wrong now.

P.S. And thanks for making this a popular thread :P
