Guys, I've struggled mightily trying to figure this out on my own, and perhaps it’s been discussed to death around here, althiugh I can’t find any threads that address it directly, but I sure could use a little brotherly advice on the black glass in VC mode problem. I’m running FSX acceleration SP2 and have probably a half dozen beautiful freeware aircraft that I can’t fly in VC mode due to black cockpit glass. I have a rough idea of the issue and was able to correct the problem in the Concorde on my own using DXTBmp. However, the other aircraft with this issue have resisted all my efforts to find a solution. One of my most disappointing efforts has been with the beautiful Alpha Bleu Ciel Corsair F4U-7. I notice on some of the aircraft with this issue, when selecting the aircraft in Free Flight, the model that shows up in the display window has black glass. Others however show up in the window with clear glass but when it opens up for flight in VC mode, the glass turns black. I wonder if this has something to do with the problem being in either the panel folder or the texture folder. The problem with the Concorde was in the texture folder and it was a conveniently marked bitmap file with the name Glass_T.bmp. None of the other aircraft that I’m working with are so easily diagnosed. Any advice or guidance offered here will be very gratefully received. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

BTW, have you guys run across a freeware “Fairchild C119 LEAS NAM”? I found it here: http://www.flightsimulatorx.it/download/aerei.php (http://www.flightsimulatorx.it/download/aerei.php). I was stunned at the quality of this freeware aircraft. I’ve only bought one payware package, the Abacus Fighter Pilot 2, which was pretty disappointing, especially considering the quality of some of the freeware out there. You guys are so far above me in this stuff that I feel like a total amateur asking questions but I decided to swallow my pride and hope for a little pity. Thanks!<o:p></o:p>
