Problem using FS2004 aircraft in FSX

[popejpii]

Hey everybody!

I am trying to use the Ikarus Comco C-42 Ultralight aircraft for FS2004 in FSX but can't get it to work properly!

The problem is with the propeller, when it is in motion it greys out basically giving a grey circle which is obviously most annoying.

Does anybody know of a way to get it working properly in FSX?
Many Thanks
PJP

The aircraft itself is available on simviation:

It's an Alpha Channel issue. You must edit your propeller texture to modify the Alpha Channel to make it transparent. There are plenty of topics discussing this issue and how to solve it with DXTBMP, you find them easilly.

Daube beat me to it. Read Phil Taylor's blog. http://blogs.msdn.com/ptaylor/archive/2007/12/31/how-to-upgrade-the-propellers-in-fs9-aircraft-for-fsx-sp2.aspx

Brilliant!

Many thanks for that, I've just been flying in a C-42 without a greyed out prop motion!

That's made my day

To fix the whisky compass warning, open the Panel folder, open the panel.cfg, and look for any entry line that has "Extra-300.whiskey-compass, and put "//" in front of that guage line.
