Thats why there is the evil black rectangle at the bottom? I have NEVER had it before...the huge one at the bottom, jsut noramly have the number overlay,

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?

Not sure on that one, you may have to wait untill someone else jumps in here.

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

How do I open the alpha channel (I have photoshop if that helps)

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 Very Happy

Cheers, O and the Black box comes back when flying the aircraft, me thinks its because thou doth use FS9 aircraft Embarassed

so I will find a FSX hawk or something and see then Smile

.

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

Cheers all.
