I'm using P3Dv4.5 and  have the problem with dark VC,but in addition the exterior prototype model is almost black, not aluminum coloured. Please help.

Good evening,

Could you kindly also post screenshots of your individual P3Dv4.5 settings. What video card does your PC have, and what driver version are you using for it?

Cheers,

My graphics card is Nvidia MX150, latest driver. I'll post my P3Dv 4.5 settings. Here are 3 screenshots of the exterior B314 model. Thanks for your help

I don't think that there's anything I can do to help. The problem is the graphics chip: nVidia themselves describe it as 'entry level' and with 2Gb RAM, it just falls inside minimum specs. The problem with a 'minimum specs' definition is that it means a program will run, but it will never run well. The dark textures you are seeing are P3D not displaying the reflective layer correctly because of the lack of video RAM.

Thank you.My other pbare metal planes display fine however. Will the dark VC cockpit in V4.5 be fixed soon?

I'm confused. There is no dark cockpit problem in P3Dv4.5.

May be some non-default shaders are installed?
