bliksimpie,thank you for the reply although didn't find what I was looking for and this is partly my fault for notdescribing what model I have.As I feel why buy a new model if you can fix the old one up to your liking.I have boththe V35 and F33 for FS9 which is probably some of carenado's early aircraft.Since this might be of interest to othersthere is a way to change window tint although the procedure is a little different. My son helped me on this as he doesgauge work and I tend to work on scenery.You need something like Adobe paint portable that will open the vc winow bitmap and break down into classes or layers.In this case you want to change or fill in the blue layer,just the windows itself, with black,save it and then use bmpdxt to saveit as extended bitmap. if you have problems with this ,either post a new reply or send me a pm and I'll try to explain itbetter./jd
