Brett Henderson and Alrot C310 Problem

[tcco94]

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!  :)  )

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,

[Boikat]

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???

[Anxyous]

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.
