Addons Ok, except no paint...

Postby Naja002 » Mon Dec 07, 2009 1:45 pm

Some of the addons that I've added are just fine. But others are ok, except they are either solid white or invisible (just a shadow). Here's what I mean:

I originally installed Acceleration, but it is currently uninstalled. I've noticed that the Addons that work well seem to have most or all .dds files for texture, whereas these above have pretty much all .bmp and no .dds.

I am installing them correctly....just have no idea what the issue is here...

They work well....its's just the paint is missing...

Any Help???

Are you running in DX10 preview mode? If so, turn it off, restart the sim and try again.

this is probably a stupid question, but how do you get the view mode with the lat/long, G force meter, altitude...? i can't remember how to bring it up, i usually fly in spot view and the altimeter feature would be great to have

Shift Z brings it up. Push keys twice for more data.
