Chris, I do not see that on my end but I only tested in P3Dv4.5. Without having seen what you see my guess is that the lightmap texture is not read correctly. There is a common texture named MBAI S3_L.dds which should be in the common sim texture folder. Can you please check this texture is where it should be?

Henk.

Thanks, was doing my initial checks in Martin's AIAE program and the lightmap was in the global texture file, causing the missing textures to show the checkerboard. In game, v4.5, I can see it was the formation lights.

Good point though. I must have missed to add this location to the search path.

This brings up a good point.

Not to pick on Chris specifically but if anyone is reporting an "issue", whether with conversions or new releases, please make sure that you are seeing the issue in the SIM not just in MCX or AIAE.

Thanks
Gavin
