ya, that does look weird....

and Pippin is right, maybe u should let them sit a while on the runway, while u do the run ups and checkl;iists..... and maybe call home to tell'em u r going to miss supper

no joke, u should let'em sit a while, i somtimes experience taht in CFS2, i let them sit and mayby apply a little power so the plane moves a bit, after like 30 secs (the most, ususally when i have the WMP on

) the texture appears, if not try doing it from the inside, set the view as Cockpit view, apply power and move around a bit, then take a peek aout the window so see how things are coming
btw, do u have that second shot on 1024x768 ressolution???

happy landings!
