Hi

Can anyone please tell me why this is happening ? It seems to be only like this on top of the wing, beneath it it looks fine except the flaps are also totally invisible. I've download a number of textures but they all seem to give the same problem, and its only the saaf textures that I installed that's giving me the problem.

Hi there,
I guess this is for FSX? That normally happen when the texture have a dark alpha channel (the darker it gets, the more invisible the part will be) but the model does not have a specular map applied to.

Where did you get the repaint, and who did it?

Yes, sorry forgot to mention, this is for FSX. I got both off of flightsim.com , one was made by Jens-Ole Kjølberg and other one by Morné Pieters.

Problem solved. I just flew around a bit and when I checked again the top of the wings texture was back. Weird, maybe it needed some time to load those specific textures? But anyhow, thanks!
