Another mystery -- to me.
Yesterday, I decided to install my FSD PC6 Porter in FSX. In getting things setup, I learned that there is an issue with VC Rain that when flown in rainy conditions the cockpit glass turns blue. Sure enough, I checked it out and that is what happened.
The FSD Support FAQ provided the following information:
In addition to the FSD Rain Fix utility, I also found similar fixes by Flight 1 and Microsoft. I'm hesitant to apply any of the fixes until I know more about what files I'm replacing and why.
Q I have FSX Acceleration installed, and once the it is raining the view outside the window in the virtual cockpit turns a solid color. A Many models created before Direct X 10 will display an oblique plain color out the windows in the VC when Flight Simulator X generates any kind of precipitation. This is due to the rain textures introduced in FS X SP2 are incompatible with non-DX 10 native models. Our VC Rain Fix utility, available at the top of the page, can correct this.
Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks in advance
