    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Conversion troubles - Can Anyone Help?

Bookman1960

SOH-CM-2023
So...
I've successfully been converting hundreds (and I do mean hundreds) of older models from CFS, FS2K2, and FS9 and importing them into FSX. But every once in a while I get stymied by something and this one is really frustrating, as I suspect I'm missing a simple fix.

So, I'm posting here in the hopes that someone wiser than I can help me.

I found a wonderful Bell 47J2 model created for FS2K2 by Lasse Lindh (available here: http://www.bell47.net/WBSims/_Sim_N2838B.htm and some good repaints here: http://www.bell47.net/B47Sims/_Bell47J_Sims.htm ) and I have brought it into FSX but the glass is causing me trouble.

As one can see in these shots, the bird is looking great but the glass is opaque [though the inside glass is fine]. I can seem to find a texture that I can edit to replace the glass (as I usually do with other older models).

Can anyone offer some insight, or better yet a solution?

Thank you for any help.
