Lost the Chrome!!??

[Cherokee_6]

Hello All,

I have been away for a while being busy with work and all and I came back to do a flight in my Baron and noticed that all the chrome on the plane is gone.

There used to be chrome on the Prop cones and that is just a dull grey now.

I thought it was maybe just that plane but I also have the B-29 which is ALL chrome and its just a dull grey too.

I tried playing with my video card settings to see if that was it but nothings working...

Any ideas?

Nvidia Gforce4 MX 420 64 meg

Check you have added the following lines to your diplay.cfg file at the end of the GeForce 2 section:

NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420
[000010DE:00000172]
DriverValidate2=1

Then check you have ticked the reflections check box.
That should fix it.

A little chrome polish and some elbow grease is the best way to remove the oxidation. Shame on you for ignoring her that long.

Probably left her sittin out in the rain too, didn't ya?

No...I would never do that! She was well covered and in her warm dry hanger

Have you changed any system settings or FS settings at all Cherokee?

I had a Geforce2 but I never had the lost Chrome problem. Funny...  ???

My old GF2 was a pain, once I had to completely re-install FS after adding new drivers to get it to work properly with chrome effects! No reason why!!!!!!!!!
