Another black aircraft showing up ?

[sixstrings5859]

Have another "black" aircraft showing up . It's the ai Heinkel He177A 1944. Here's a picture of it. Can i please get the code needed to fix this model ? Thanks for any help. Regards,Scott

Do you have He177_XXXX_s.dds somewhere in your install?

 

[sixstrings5859]

In the texture folder of the aircraft.

 

[sixstrings5859]

Yes it is there.

 

[MajorMagee]

Can you tell if it has an alpha layer (DXT5 format)? If it does that could be the problem, but that would also effect the non-AI version as well.

 

[sixstrings5859]

The flyable aircraft shows up normal though.

 

[MajorMagee]

It turns out to be a problem in the m3d.

The normal version references the main texture He177_6nsk_t.dds.

The AI version is looking for He177_5jkk_t.dds that does not exist (in my install).

You can either edit the m3d (which is what I evidently did sometime in the past), or just make a copy of He177_6nsk_t.dds and rename it He177_5jkk_t.dds

I'll bet a texture by that name exists SOMEWHERE...John?
