What the heck is that round thing near the rudder at the back of the plane in the first shot?

Looks like it's getting there.

What are you using to compress your shots and what is the sim resolution set to?

Using Paint.Net and the Sim resolution is 1440x900 (32) - same as Display.

I'm not sure what you are referring to about "compression"...these disapearing textures appear a lot with complex planes like the PMDG products.

I think he's talking about his screenshots rather than the display problem.

I've seen this problem mentioned before but I'm darned if I can remember what causes it. What are the system specs of this new machine of yours? Perhaps you need to update the video card drivers or tweak the FSX display settings.
It was a bad (terrible) install.

This was acquired with FS9 in mind but, after that started giving me fits, I discovered that "Mr Shanks" had his new FSX running on a similar machine and his results were good.

As in like you installed FSX on top of FS9 in the same directory?
You think? Have I reached that point?

might have been better to uninstall & start again from scratch.
That's exactly what I did - very carefully and all's well in my little Flightsim world - for now.
