There's a hole in my prop!

About a week ago I got the sudden urge to try some repainting in FSX so went and grabbed a nice biplane, the Travel Air.

I'm fairly sure this is a model issue, though again, I'm convinced this issue wasn't there before

That's where the passenger's head is/should be.

Press the '/' (spoiler) key to toggle the pilot and passenger in the vc and external views.

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

It is where the passenger's head is, yeah.  I never really noticed that before, since I never used the passenger before.  You'll notice that even when the passenger's mug is blocking your line of sight ( :P ) the box of transparency is still there in front.  I gave a start when you mentioned SP2, though, because I really should have thought of that before.  I confirmed it by uninstalling Acceleration, then reinstalling it.  So I guess now it is a texture question (sorry :( )...I need to find out how to get rid of that box.  I imagine there's some alpha channel I need to fix?  Black out, or make all white?  I already tried that before, but I must have missed something.  Either that or I'm barking up the wrong tree again.  Are there any more experienced repainters who would be able to have a peek in that folder and tell me what I've got to do?
