February 1, 201511 yr I have simply searched the web over for a problem like mine and have seen nothing just like it. I once had EZdok installed, had trouble, uninstalled it. Now I have SE fsx and original installed, so I don't think EZdok was the oproblem, but can't be sure. But I have had problems with VC showing up, especially on 777 models, free ware and most paid 777's. But now, this has really gotten strange. I got the addon "Fly the heavies" with the big birds in it because I wanted to fly the nice 747's and 777 and 380's. But as before, the VC in the 777 paints, there's two, show only the back protion of the plane if I turn around, and half a wall in front of me, and no VC. I tried moving the camera upfront but it just eventually goes to empty outside look, like hitting W in the 2d view. But now here's a real strange one. I went to fly one of the missions using the 747 Malasia plane, a short landing, and again no VC, so just trying everything, I chose to try the other 747 after pausing, the other paint, same addon, same plane, just a different paint, and THE VC IS THERE, justbeutiful and detailed as ever. Swithed back to the malasia paint, NO VC.THESE ARE THE SAME MODELS, SAME ADDON, just different paints, how can one VC show up and the other I get nothing in the same 747 just a different paint? And the same happens in the fresh SE version as well, and I have not had ezdok installed when I put that on the PC. Now, I will mention that I did figure out why some textures and 2d panels were mising at times, and that because i was using the "PANEL=OFF" trick in the aircraft config to get rid of paints in my air craft choice window so I wouldn't have so many to look through. What I didn't realize is that when there are a few different paints of the same plane, some may reference some of the other panles, or use their code or something and if you have the "Panel OFF" thing on a needed paint model you can get missing textures when you load a plane, so maybe i can help others by mentioning that situation, be careful using that Panel=Off thing, it's fine on some aircraft and can mess up others if the paints are interconnected by referenceing other panels. But I am at a loss on the Fly the heavies thing. I have seen others have close to the same problems, like missing VC AFTER switching to other views, but my situation is missing VC al together. If i have one, it is always working, or if I don't I cannot get one to show. But the same model in the same addon, just a different paint, one VC works and not the other, really? What could cause such a thing? Sorry for ranting, I don't expect anyone will know what is causing this because i have never seen anyone in my web searches that has had this problem. I know that the W key turns off the 2d panel, is there another key that turns the VC on and off as the W key does? Could that be it? Thanks for listening.
