Hello, and welcome to SimV! :)

You are suffering from the dreaded alpha channel problem in the VC glass texture. ;) This is a quite common problem with FS9 aircraft that have been ported to FSX.

There is a way to fix it though, you will need the program: DXTBMP. it is free, here is a link: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia ... TBmp.shtml . ;) Next you will need to find the texture for the VC glass, usually called by that or something similar.

Now load that texture into DXTBMP

Next

OK, for each of the texture folders in the F-18 aircraft folder itself, you need to do the above process to the following files:

sh_vc02.bmp

sh_vc03_L.bmp

Do that and let me know what you have then.  ;)

Yep, I just did this myself, and everything looks correct now, except for the VC glass itself, where at first the entire cockpit controls and all were blacked out, this is the same problem you had, correct?

The VC glass is going to require another trick. But one step at a time. ;)
