I recently downloaded Sim-Markets ex-payware Beechcraft Staggerwing and I was very happy to find a Staggerwing that worked 100% with FSX, well almost. The only thing is the aircraft appears very bright.

But from the tower view it looks normal.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this problem, I wouldn't ask if this was just any old aircraft but the Staggerwing is a rare, beautiful bird. Any help is much appreciated. 8-)

wow, the interior colors are trippy...lol

could it be the alpha channel?

I thought it was the alpha channel myself but when I changed from black to white nothing changed on the paint. :-/ The interior can cause a problem with the sun behind it! 8-)

Was it originally an FS9 plane?

Yes, it is for FS9 but I put it in FSX. I hope there is a way to fix it there are very few Staggerwings modeled for FS.

I would just run it in FS9, but my video card sees the autogen and goes no, no, no. So I get black lines and then the blue screen of death.

I need to sit down and watch one of the million weird things of FSX  ;D

Would you be kind and link it to study and see why is doing this ?

Looks like the designer put something in the lightmap slot ..this is strange and really I would like to download it and see it for my self

Thanks

Is it some sort of reflective effect that is put into the model itself?

Here's the link, I am using it with Acceleration but I'm not sure if that could cause any problems like this...yeah right. A service pack not causing any problems?...from Microsoft, phiff  ::).  But if you could "fix" the paint I would be very, very grateful. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

A service pack is designed to be a pack of things you have to service.

I don't know my repainting experience not counting this is...well...its zero .

Ravaaaaaaaaang! I can't download this file ,

are you sure the url is correct?

Try this one...
ftp://63.217.28.218/47vintage/Simtech_Staggerwing.zip

Or just search SimV for Simtech Staggerwing.

I just found behind this Ugly Ghost a beutiful plane ,Its design for FS9 ,STILL ,I don't understand why he put so much alpha

Absolutely brilliant Alrot.  Ravang if you do this amendment, it would be great if the model could be uploaded to SimV.

As its now freeware, I am sure there would be no IP problem.

I would really like to have this plane, the Stag is one of the superb classic aircraft.

Macca the problem is No matter is if a freeware , This plane has his copyright ,and the designer has to be respected , But This plane looks better than some of the default FSX original models ,has some wonderful FX in the alpha paintings ,Im really impress ,If you could see what I see  :o and I have a poor video card ,Is not a frame eater either ,Simple is Perfect plane!!No words to describe ,you would have to see it for your self!!

Thanks Alrot, nice plane huh?
