I did that a week ago (didn't like the REX sea textures).First I unchecked all panes under the 'Water Themes' Options menu in REX. I rebooted and then installed Zinertek's water effects.It all worked fine in my FS9 without any problems.

Thank you for your VERY VALUABLE information, N60JBravo. I'm stressing "very" because, since I happen to know about digital imaging, I was already suspicious that this issue had to with the Alpha channels and the black masks of the FS9 extended bitmap textures. I also stressed "valuable" because you gave me a reference point. A point that happens to be within the area of my expertise in my everyday life. When (or ...if) I will be able to create my first successfully tested "L" bitmap(right now I have no idea how FS will respond to the tests to follow) I will be glad to share the results with you as well as with the rest of this excellent community.Once again, thank you for this.Regards from Athens, Greece.

First of all, thank you very much for your attention, David and StoneCold.Unfortunately your tips do not solve the problem (I already had these settings in my FS9)As you know, the "Navigation Lights" settings include control not only of the cockpit particular illumination but also of the passengers cabin ( I had to use the term "Nav lights" in order not to confuse you with the term "passenger cabin lights" which does not exist in Fs9). So the problem is that I can't have control on them after the time point that FS9 decides to turn them off automatically. Please test it on your FS. There is no way that you can see the aircraft's windows lit at dawn and in "spot view".P.S.: Please excuse my English. It's not my native language.

Is there any way that I keep the nav lights on after the transition from dawn to day ?FS9 automatically turns them off and it doesn't give any option for user control.Thank you in advance. :(

Success, Ronzie ! You were absolutely right in suggesting the gauge check ! I played with combunations of the three values (that you kindly introduced me into-otherwise I wouldn't go that deep myself...lol) and finally it worked (...since I did all that last night and having a busy day, I forgot what that final combination was...) ! I don't know how to thank you for your time your effort and your priceless help... Just wanna say I feel grateful to you since you saved me from countless hours of searching and braking my own nerves... Please tell me how can I return this favor ...

Thank you, Ronzie.I would answer to the first question if I had been able to put to test the particular gauge in a gauge editor that I could ...handle (so far, the "FS Panel Studio" could not do it, unless I'm mistaken or haven't yet found all the features of the program...)As for your second question, I also had the same suspicion before I started learning how to fix this. But since I'm not an expert (I just use fs2004 for years and that's all about it), and, before starting doing things of my own (like a typical silly ignorant), I thought I'd better ask for help people who know ....100.000 times more things about aviation (simulated or not) than me.Do you have any clues about what kind of policy should be applied in this?

Wowk, yes, I always backup things when I touch files in FS. Now, about the Aircraft .cfg changes : I followed your guidance to the letter. The problem still exists. I also suspected (from the beginninig of the problem) that it can also be a matter of incompatibility of Mathias' spoiler gauge. So, before asking for help here, I bought the "FS Panel Studio". Found the particular gauge but I couldn't make its movement longer (I thought this could solve the problem, perhaps). Also, just for the history, Mathias suggests certain changes in the aircraft's .cfg file (which I also followed) but they have nothing to do with the spoilers.What do you think ?(Once again, thank you so much for this...)

THANK YOU so much for your response, your guidance and enlightening analysis, wowk !!!I will follow your instructions and I will come up with feedback.I'm grateful...D.

I have a BAE 146-200 (Avro RJ-100) by Eurowings and I recently replaced its panel with Matthias Lieberecht's (great) panel. Everything works fine except the wing spoilers : They only deploy just a few inches up and that's all. Since this is obviously due to some incompatibility between Lieberecht's panel and Eurowings' design, I would be very thankful to anyone who can give me a hint on the necessary changes needed (panel or/and aircraft cfgs, perhaps) in order to fix this incompatibility. Thank you in advance !
