Okay I dont know if someone has already posted about this sorry if they did..
But my airplane is perfect works fine the VC and cockpit but the outside is see-through? :-/



Thanks for your help  ;)

No, it's your system.  It's like that on mine too, along with the Citation and the 707, or any add-on that uses 2048X2028  BMP' or DDS's for the texture files.  The only *real* cure is a graphics card.  The other alternative is to re-size to 1024, but you loose sharpness.

I was under the impression you had a video card...?

I was under the impression yu had a video card because you you've posted some pretty good screen shots.  Bu I may be thinking of someone else.  My bad.  ;)

Stop the press!!!!

Out of curiosity, I downloaded the C310.  I can see it.

I've done two things since te C310 came out:  Fiddled with my screen resolution and some weeks ago, I installed SP1.  I hadn't downloaded the C310 (I thought I had) or looked at the other aircraft since then.  But since the 310 showed up (The only thing weird about it is the props show up as grey disks), I reinstalled the 707, and it works now, also.

One of those, either SP1 or fiddling with the screen resolution fixed my "ghost ship" problems.

(707 is Sa-weet, now that I can see it!  :)  )

So, no more WOnder Woman's "invisible"  airplane?

Interesting..

Anyway.. the only way to assure proper rendering of the 310, is to have SP2 installed, and have a good, dedicated, newer v-card.

It's the hi-res textures and heavy use of FSX texturing options,

I have no v-card and had installed SP-2, but uninstalled it because when I started the sim the first time, it said something about the video card not having enough memory (which is understandable, since no v-card means zip v-card memory)

Maybe I have a proverbial "Ghost in the Machine" from SP-2, since I didn't uninstall the whole shooting match and then do a clean reinstall of the sim and then SP1?

But the rendering in the sim is excelent, so I'm not going to complain!

So, now, question: I am running FSX "straight-up," no service packs. I have d/l a fair amount of craft from the site and they run fine. If I d/l wanted to install SP1 & then SP2, would this impact my add-on planes?

Would I just d/l SP1/2, then run FSX as usual?  Or...

Would I have to first take FSX off my HD, reinstall it, then install SP 1/2, and THEN add my d/l craft back in again?

Never got a real good explaination on just what the two SP's give to FSX. Are they really all that vital???

It might impact some aircraft, if they're not SP2 compatible.

As for order of installation, I would think that you could just install them, but Nick's your man for that.
