This plane works great for me. Are you sure you have SP2 installed on your FSX ?

Do you need SP2 for the OV-10A to display properly?

HEY THATS THE PROBLEM I HAVE ALL YOU SEE IS THE 2 PILOTS FLOATING IN THE AIR. I CHECKED THE FILES THAT NEED TO BE IN THERE AND I HAVE THEM I CHECKED IT LIKE 10 TIMES ALREADY HELP ME OUT...DO I NEED THE SERVICE PACKS. I CANT FIND MY ORIGINAL FSX CD'S BECAUSE IT DOES ASK FOR IT WHEN I TRY TO DOWNLOAD THE SERVICE PACK 1

How and where do I get SP2?

I don't have SP1 or SP2 and the plane works fine for me.

Open the texture.cfg file in wordpad.exe or notepad.exe and change the fallback.3 entry as shown below. There are some files in the \Texture folder of FSX that may be required, and FSX can't load 'em if you don't tell it where they are...

Code: Select all

[fltsim]

fallback.1=..\texture.common
fallback.2=..\..\..\..\Scenery\Global\texture
fallback.3=..\..\..\..\Texture

But are you using the FS9 version of the plane, or the newest FSX SP2 version ?

It seems to me that Tim has written in the readme that the plane was compiled with the FSX-SP2 sdk.

One thing that change from SP1 to SP2 is the transparency. In SP1, a texture with a black alpha channel is opaque, but in SP2 the same texture is transparent. You have to invert the Alpha Channel (= make it white) for the texture to be opaque again.

So for the author of this thread, *perhaps* you need to do the contrary...

But an easier solution would be to simply use the FS9 version of the plane, I would say.

you might want to provide 1024 textures in an alternate download for people with vidmem challenged graphics cards.

.. in my activated FSX I have a a cheap agp Nvidia FX6200 ..and no complaints at all..

besides I already start another protect a 707

Alejandro - you can design to the lowest common denominator, but the sad fact is that some people will always have some problem, if only because of the differences between your hardware setup and theirs.  You can, as Phil suggests, provide a different set of textures, but there will always be complaints.

Keep up your good work.

Thanks you ...........I'll try to use for this one 1024 x1024 dds
