ok...  I have searched everywhere for this.  I had to reinstall FSX and I cant find the patch that fixes the flaps for the 747 (they curl up instead of down).  anyone know where to find it?

Do you have a picture of it?  I've never seen or heard of that... :-?

this is the problem I have...

Thats wing flex, not flaps...

That's with "advanced animations" checked when your video card doesn't support shader something or another (sorry for the technical explanation) .  You'll just have to turn "advanced animations" off.  Or get a new video card.

hang on guys, his flaps are separating from the wings themselves and bending upwards. is this the problem you are having yeti?

yea that's the problem...  i'll try turning off the advanced animation

Yeti I think is a texture issue ,Try another plane like the 737-800 see,if the wings detach from the flaps too , if it don't ,I think (just an opinion) you may need to reinstall FSX again buddy..

Try to select in video settings ,"advanced animation" anyway..to see if it fix it..

Weird ,isn't it?..

To be specific its because you have a pre DX9 card trying to render a DX9 animation. Without the proper acceleration you end up with this because the card doesn't properly know how to display what the operation is telling it to do.

Basically you have two options, turn off advanced animations and have to deal without any of the eye candy of FSX, or get a new DX9c or DX10 compliant video card.
