invisible planes

Postby loomex » Sat Nov 01, 2003 7:25 pm

I set up a flight plane for one of my military planes. I can see the plane in spot view, but not from the cockpit....except its FS2004 lights. This plane was an FS2002 that seems to fly good in FS2004. Oh the plane is my EB-52V3.any ideas?

i thought about that :D I found that I can see just the engines. I swapped the '52s for a yb-60 and it worked great so I am at a loss

Loomex,

Probably something to do with the visual model.  Pretty bizzare though.

There are things that you can just do nothing about.

I repainted the default Jumbo with several different BA tailfin liveries for use as AI. It looked and worked great - better than other AI because it has proper u/c detail and all moving parts.

However I noticed that in cockpit view from another aircraft from certain angles the bottom section of the fuselage becomes transparent and you can see the engines on the other side.

If you can't put up with it (and in your case it sounds a bit extreme) fraid you just have to bin the model
