I once had the same problem, but mine rectified itself, try shutting down fraps, and do a complete re-boot, start up Fraps before running any flight sim.

Ok, thanks. O and reflective textures, My Belique Cannuck has the tailplane and engines reflective - is there a way to turn this of? Or will I have to use FS Repaint and change reflective down to 0?

With DXT.Bmp, open the alpha channel for that area (s), and change the alpha color to white. This will lose all reflectivity.

I already told you how... with DXT.bmp.

Open it, then send the Alpha to photoshop, change to white, then reload, then save, then your done.

Well here it is, some screen shots of my team - well us, the duo.

Changing the Aircraft.cfg so it handels like a trainer - I know its cheating, but I love the Canuck, but its not designed for preforming :D :roll: :D

Cheers, O and the Black box comes back when flying the aircraft, me thinks its because thou doth use FS9 aircraft :oops: so I will find a FSX hawk or something and see then :).

One more problem though - The Aircraft (multiplayer) the persons whom I am flying with, always has there gear down - any fix?

Cheers all.
