John,
While watching two fly circuits around EGUN I was wondering if there is a way to fix the black rotors ? (FSX Accel)
Would the reverse alpha trick work ?

If you have a tool like DXTBmp you can open the texture files for the rotors and if the Alpha Channel preview is white, then you will have to edit the alpha to something closer to transparent and save it back to the original rotor texture. Do not use 0,0,0 on RBG or your rotors will be completely invisible and that won't look realistic either.

Mildenhall looks really good with Tony's custom scenery, John's CV-22's and our KC-135R's with Henry T's C-130's rounding out the mix. Add in the MAIW Offutt AFB package and it really comes to life.
I'd be willing to be there are some other great MAIW packages that really add variety to this great base!

Re: Ten for Ten Part 2: USAF Ospreys
I think it has a lot to do with the graphics card and drivers used. I updated my drivers recently and the change is amazing.

Re: Ten for Ten Part 2: USAF Ospreys
I was wondering why the FS9 flightplans only utilise 7 out of the 12 aircraft in the package?

Re: Ten for Ten Part 2: USAF Ospreys
I've tinkered with different combinations of alpha, but still can't quite get the rotors to show properly against the backgrounds in FSX. Maybe it's just time for a newer video card.

Re: Ten for Ten Part 2: USAF Ospreys
Just got them in but have yet to fire up FSX, but I would be ok with the old "see through clouds" issue just to have them.
For those other 5 a/c FPs, you can send them to Africa or NE Iraq.

9 CV-22Bs are based at Mildenhall I believe and 7 is about the maximum you will see on the apron at any one time.Alan Robertson wrote:I was wondering why the FS9 flightplans only utilise 7 out of the 12 aircraft in the package?
