Freeware Aircraft and Black windows!

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

Just a small question about something that happened the other day, which has probably been asked time and time again but I can't seem to find it here.

 

I recently downloaded a freeware aircraft for my hanger and when I ran FSX the aircraft is there, with panels sounds and all but the view out of the windows is black, only when in the Virtual Cockpit it would seem. Is this a consequence of an aircraft being converted by someone to run in FSX from FS9 or not? This only happens with this one aircraft not any of the other myriad aircraft in my hanger.

 

I seem to recall a post here somewhere that mentioned this problem and the answer was a fix on the Aerosoft site but I looked once and couldn't find anything.

 

Can anyone help fix this or is this aircraft consigned to the back of the hanger and the recycle bin!

 

Regards.

Happy Flying,

 

Dave Phillips.

Just a thought but FSX does that if you're missing a texture.

I seem to remember something about this happening with aircraft for FS9 converted to work in FSX. I don't think there are any missing files, but a good thought.

 

Thanks

Could just be a texture transparence problem. Although there was a fix over at Flight1 for when the windows turn opaque when it rains when using some FS9 ports in FSX. Although if you get it when its not raining then it sounds like its just a problem with the textures that make up the windscreen, most likely they need an alpha channel to make them transparent.
