I've seen a couple of articles about changing the canopy to 32bit from DXT1. Is this correct? So, on the HTAI F-16...where is the canopy texture?

There isn't a separate one, it must be part of the mdl.

I can confirm the canopies are part of the model.

Ugh...those black canopies are an eye sore. Hmmm...that may be a deal breaker. How do you FSX users deal with that mess?

I don't have black canopies on any aircraft in FSX.

Are you using SP2/Accel?

Nope. Not yet. Necessary?

Might be worth a try, me ole. IIRC it went some way to helping on my setup, plus the Accel addon is worth it in itself and includes SP2.

I would certainly advise adding SP2, it really helps with the canopies.

I'm running FSX Accel and I'm getting black canopies on the Nick Black F-15C,D, and E. I haven't updated these aircraft in a while and in fact migrated them over from FS9. This is the only aircraft i'm having this problem with.
Are there any fixes?

Thanks,

I am pretty sure that you missend to move the shared glass texture from ..\%fs9%\texture to the local FSX texture folder. I don't know by heart what the name is - either you look in the package or somebody from the team knows.

The glass texture is not shared, it's part of the main texture. The only aircraft I'm having trouble with now is Nick Black's F-15 (A thru E models).

I tried using BitMap to change the texture to DXT5, but it didn't help.

Thanks,
