HELP.....Black cockpit glass

[trucker17]

Ok Heres my problem.
I did a complete uninstall and reinstall of FSX to my computer....
Today I climbed into my Favorite FA 18 to go for a quick flight up the California Coast.....
But this is what I saw instead on the airport outside the cockpit.
Here is the plane.

Trucker,
I believe that is the freeware Team KBT F-18 Super Hornet. I had the same problem, but a buddy of mine was able to find a fix. There is a package of it out there somewhere that has the corrected glass texture for FSX/Accel. According to my friend the black texture problems have something to do with one of the model files of the KBT package. I'm not sure if you can reverse the alpha channel in the glass texture or not. Hopefully someone here can advise more.....I'm a "FNG" when it comes to texture and alpha mods. If you can find the "good" package, no mods will be needed. Hope this helps a little.....cheers!!!!

Did you have a clear canopy on the same model before the re-install of FSX?..........or did you download it again for the reinstall and perhaps got a different package than the one you had before?!?!?

[trucker17]

Sadly I don't know anything about the alpha channels when it comes to reversing them......

[trucker17]

I downloaded it again.....

Copy that,
I may have the corrercted version on my PC at home. I will look tomorrow. Till then look here and maybe you can find a fix somewhere.

This may be the updated version with the corrected VC. I don't remember since I un-installed this aircraft, but this file has been in my MediaFire account since 2012 so I think it is,..as I probably saved it. Install if you would like.....let me know if there are any problems......cheers!!!!!

It looks like you are missing the (correct) texture for the (internal) glass.

Cheers,
