Why is my VC Main panel texture not showing??

[Brett Hill 2]

Ok ,After a while working , I just find out that these guy use the whole panel and a symbol code ($) as a map and as the place to set Gauges .. It works in FS9 but not in FSX , I made it black thru the [Vcockpits] and this is what I got

     

I can make another color Just fort you if you want it ,but I don't think it worth it

so any ideas why it works with the fsx demo as seen above from another person?

[Alejandro Rhodes]

It seems to work in the FSX Demo. What does this tell you?



Note there is more than one panel texture in the Texture folder.

Mmmm I didn't saw this, It tells me that this plane get screw using Service Packs  ;D

This is a FS2004 aircraft Brett

Sorry My Friend I did my efford on this ,Makemdl9 formats (Non true FSX models) Has their limits , we can't fix all the planes by making bmp into dds or changing alpha, or making like magic ,the best thing is to use it in FS9 .. Wont work for FSX

hmmm. ok... that is weird, I am interested to know whether it is xp or vista you are running

I'm using the FSX Demo on WinXP. Note that my shot is "as it comes" without editing textures. This shot shows how it looks with the left half of the panel with a black Alpha channel (transparent) & the right with a white Alpha channel.


I don't have FSX myself but I've noticed from reading this forum that FSX + SP2 (or Acceleration) seems to reverse the way the Alpha Channel works. I suggest you try both textures with a black Alpha.

I didn't mean that Doug ,The guy who made this plane "In Theory" Used the gmax standard material Slot map menu and include the $vcg1/$vcg2 and the bigpanG.bmp / bigpanD.bmp as a single map I've seen it before ,GOOD for FS9 and useless for FSX-SP2, there is no way to fix this ,Unless reinstall FSX and remove Sp1 and 2 will oviously will cause worth issues..

danm...  :'(    its a shame to see such a good plane gone to waste.

[Alejandro Rhodes]

Yes Brett  :'( Its a beutiful plane indded,I think once this was a payware Not sure ..

But Hey FS2004 hasn't die yet ,I just place it in Fs9  8-) 8-) 8-)

[Brett Hill 2]

well thanks for your attempt to help anyway

if you can get it working then I have all the correct gauges standing by and all the credit would go to you

thanks

I don't know the technicalities but thought it was worth a try. This demonstrates the problem with posting FSX updates for those FS9 models. I thought that SP2 was supposed to make this easier, or was that SP1? All I know is that there are so many possible variables now it's all far too complicated for the average punter to understand.  I must confess to being out of my depth.

[Alejandro Rhodes]

Trust me , This game has So many "strangest" Variables ,I will give you this example: many has download the True FSX Cessna 310q ,so far nobuddy has a real complaint of an issue and there are about three persons having VISTA  Having a 8800 and sp2 ,all the default planes work fine to them include the other models I have made so far using FSX-SDK and these guys has this (only in this model)



I don't know what causes this

:-/ definaly I can why there are many people like waiting for FS11 :-/

[Brett Hill 2]

I agree... i cant wait for fs11 to come out... But as its going to be a completely new engine I cant help thinking that all the freeware and payware addon business will have to do alot of work or there wont be much of an aircraft selection for it  :(

Ok, I'm going to download it and test. Moe info in some minutes...
