April 3, 201115 yr HiI downloaded Gnoopey's B-29 a while ago, and the cockpit textures aren't showing. The only thing that shows is the copilot instrument panel, everything else is gray. Does avsim happen to have an update with cockpit textures?
April 3, 201115 yr Assuming it is this file - b29b_910.zip - available from the library here and from Flightsim, I confirm what Gus has said.It all displays properly for me on my XP - FS2004 setup.

April 4, 201115 yr Hi, I had the same problem. I think you you will find a folder called textures.common in the download - copying the contents into the aircraft's texture folder fixed it for me.This needs to be done with every skin you have for this a/c.I suspect the author did it this way to reduce file size.Stuart
April 4, 201115 yr I meant the VC textures. Sorry :(I can confirm what Stuart has suggested - there are "common textures" which must be copied into each texture folder in order for the VC to have any color at all.I do not believe the instructions mentioned this - or if they did, I missed it also.
April 4, 201115 yr Author Got it. I'll try it someday and see if it works on my system.Has anyone made any "Fifi" repaints for the Kohler B-29 yet? I haven't found any yet. They have everything from "factory fresh (bare metal)" to Enola Gay, but no Fifi.

April 4, 201115 yr Author P.S. Can anyone validate the flight dynamics of the Superfortress? It feels right (sluggish control responses, large inputs needed for small changes) as a heavy aircraft should... Got it.

April 6, 201115 yr Author Help?For the Gnoopey B-29, which autopilot should I use? My package has both 737-400 autopilot ("ACS-GPS") and Concorde gauge autopilots ("NAV - Concorde"). Both have Hdg, Spd, Alt, V/S, etc. windows and hold modes (e.g. APP, Yaw Damper, F/D). Which autopilot is better to use?
