I'll show you with pics.
I got this, its made for fs9

and this one is supposed to be updated to fsx

Is there anyway i can fix that vc cockpit?
In my opinion, the uploader should have seen this on his way up here ::)

Fs9 = Stear04.zip
Fsx = USArmyStearman.zip

I just dig into it ,download both fs2004 and FSX ,Its not a missing texture ,this is a transparency texture created by the own Gmax/FSDS using their own colors instead of a bmp texture ,it can not be repair

I believe it's exactly the opposite alrot.
It might be a strange alpha channel. I remember that gmax transparency worked on FSX with the FS9 SDK. On the other hand, whenever I added an alpha channel and saved it with photoshop in the normal FS texture format, that part became invisible.

Search for something called glass_t.bmp, or something like that. It has to be a single texture for the glass otherwise other plane parts would have the same problem. Use DXTBmp to re-save it. It should work then...

Trust me , there's no other texture ,I think I was one of the first one in 2007 to reply how to fix the propellers issue in some of the FS9-sdk to use in FSX using DTXBmp or Imagetool

Playing with this problem, i tried to raise the seat and got this

Now that is an improvement, but you are sitting very high. It has full zoom.
There must be a way to get it right!!??
Or not?
