VC mode with AC500

[Timber]

Did not know just where to post this one.
I have been flying Miltons outstanding AC500 for a while now but the other day I ran into a problem with this one particular plane. With in a second or so after I go into the VC mode all the planes windows are coated in blue with the exception of an open area right next to the post in the cockpit.
All the other AC's work fine. One of the guys at Eagle Valley Air said it's somehting to do with the plane being changed over from the FS9 version. Can anyone give me an idea of what's causing this, and if theres' a fix for it.

Might be the rain problem when using FS9 planes in FSX? If so, try the Flight1 rain fix found on this page;

If that link bombs, it's on the Free files page.

Assuming that you are not running dx10, I would recommend the ac500w or download the appropriate updates from the AC500 website that refer to improved FPS. These are all for FS9 and will have prop issues however.

You do know that this "fix" simply replaces all 32 vcrain bitmaps with totally transparent ones, right? The actual "fix" is to either copy/paste the 32 vcrain bitmaps from FS9's ..\Texture folder to FSX's ..\Texture folder, or download the files from the FS-Insider website.
