Scenery showing through prop

Postby LaserSailorRy » Sat Aug 09, 2008 12:26 am

What can cause the scenery to show through the propeller when spinning? I've tried ajusting the alpha but no effect.

It's a bug with some FS9 aircraft in FSX. I don't think there's anything you can do about it except delete the prop texture altogether.

Two other options:  Swap in a prop BMP from an aircraft that the prop works with, or, the other fix I've read about is to tinker with the Alpha channel of the Prop BMP.

BTW, Your reply to Hagar was a bit rude.  Some solutions are "ad-hoc", and may be less then optimal, but that's the nature of the game (no pun intended)

Waswn't trying to be rude, just pointing out the situation was lame. Sorry.

The issue may not be the texture but the model itself. If you can see the ground, water and sky but no autogen and clouds through the props when spinning its a FS8/9 to FSX model issue and can not be corrected
