I had a similar issue, which I tracked down to a tweak I had added in the fsx.cfg.The entry: SmallPartRejectRadius=4 caused AI models to diasappear at a distance, leaving only their lights visible.Removing the tweak returned AI to normal.

My Rapide was originally built for FS2002, then upgraded for FS2004 and again for FSX (my first FSX native model). It's currently being extensively re-worked yet again to bring it up to todays standards.Pleased to see she's still being enjoyed.Interestingly, the Spitfire you are following in your screenshot has my initials (DWG) :(

I've modded a couple of the bitmaps for the Chippie to fill the g-meter hole and also the one in the compass on the floor.The compass looks OK now, and works fine. There is a slight bit of texture "flashing", but it's better than the hole.The g-meter displays, but no needle :-( Better than nothing thoughThe replacement bitmaps can be downloaded here: Chippie bitmapsUnzip and copy into each texture folder. (Backup the originals first )
