You shouldn't try putting a virtual cockpit texture onto a part that uses a visibility tag?The problem was, I have a radio stack, and when certain radios were off I would hide their VC display using a visibility tag and replace it with an off display (I had to do this so I could get the self emissive lighting of the radio display working nicely). Problem was, when the VC texture was hidden all the mouse zones of the other radios would stop working as well.Took my a couple of hours to figure out what was the problem and the solution was to use an animation to move the displays out of view rather than use visibility tags.But then I did it again a couple of days ago and I had already forgotten my solution so I had to figure it all out again. That's why I am writing this down now. So hopefully I won't forget again.

You could have also created a new material without the self-illumination and used it for the "non-lighted" version. I do that all the time... ;)
