I threw this B727 into FSX and some of the textures are semi-transparent, you can see thru the engine cowling here.

Hi
Copy the envmap.bmp from the fs9/texture folder to the fsx\texture folder and all will be as it was ;)

Happened to me too, with the MD500E Package, not with the DodoSim Bell 206 and DSB Tornado package though.
