November 16, 20169 yr Hello folks, I downloaded a freeware AS350 helicopter from the internet, tested it and found a annoying problem. The rotor blades disappear behind clouds and autogen obejcts. So the rotor blades disappear almost the entire time. I already tried everything. Replaced the blade textures with other blade textures from FSX default helicopters, from other freeware FSX AS350 addons, from other freeware FSX helicopters, I adjusted the 'alpha' channel of the faulty blade textures with photoshop.. Nothing solved the problem. So my question is if anyone has a AS350 with working "bmp" rotor blade textures like "prop_as_main.bmp" and "prop_as_tail.bmp" for FSX? Best regards, Patrick Patrick Helzer

Seems it's not the only heli to suffer this problem:- http://www.avsim.com/topic/493103-clouds-in-the-way/ Unfortunately I don't think the OP found a solution.. :( Mark Robinson Part-time Ferroequinologist Author of FLIGHT: A near-future short story (ebook available on amazon) I made the baby cry - A2A Simulations L-049 Constellation Sky Simulations MD-11 V2.2 Pilot.

November 27, 20169 yr Commercial Member The model will be legacy built using the fs8 sdk Mdl format. There is no fix. it's the order in which the clouds and the rotor are drawn which is the issue not the texture. The same thing occurs with props on port over aircraft, it's just less obvious than on a helicopter. My FSX Analysis Blog
