January 13, 20179 yr Hello: I fly in FSX-SE on a Win 10 computer. I have found that my add-on, prop driven aircraft have the propellers disappear when close to scenery such as buildings, trees, etc. It appears as if the propeller goes behind the building, tree, etc even though I am parked in front or flying over. This does not happen with the original aircraft that came with the flight sim. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?
January 13, 20179 yr Administrators What particular aircraft? Sometimes a different prop spin.bmp will fix that.

Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
January 16, 20179 yr Sounds like an aircraft that was originally made for FS 2004 and ported into FSX. On these aircraft the original prop spin texture is often a black disc, but a replacement texture for FSX will look normal until it is viewed with clouds, some trees, and some buildings behind the texture.

THE most simple way is to let us know exactly which aircraft download you are using. It could be a simple matter of finding a replacement prop.bmp.

For FS 2004 aircraft ported to FSX, there is no fix as this issue relates to how the 3D model was made and how it is displayed in FSX SP2, FSX Acceleration, and FSX Steam.

January 18, 20179 yr It really would be helpful to know which add on aircraft have this problem? Bill

It's a secret! :wink: Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer.

January 21, 20179 yr Author Sorry: took a while to get back to this. The problem is really with ALL add-on aircraft. I think Stans is correct when he says this is caused by importing FS2004 aircraft. Just to satisfy the people who want a specific name: gac46v2.zip Curtis Commando by Libardo Guzman, et al. Gmax modifications by Tom Gibson. FSX panel installed.
January 22, 20179 yr I have seen it with the some of the excellent Manfred Jahn freeware aircraft which have been ported over to FSX from FS9, but he provides alternative texture files for the propellers which resolve the problem. Bill
