Flying Stations Camberra!

Welll, i downloaded the b2, then went back and bought the b1.. Both planes fly wonderfully in FSX. I admit i didnt try all the bells and whistles but you guys know me.. as long as it flies I'm happy and the canberra flies beautifully.. It MIGHT be a little quick in the rolls but i cant say.. i know very little abput the real plane, and i'll never understand the british predilection for putting the pilot on the left side of the cockpit.. none the less its a beautiful plane, very nicely done and for five dollars for the b1, they're the best steal there is on the web...
 
This is a lovely model & i'm particularly grateful for the 231 OCU paint job as I used to work on the real WE113 at RAF Wyton in the 1980's.

I have two PC's. The Canberra works fine on the old slow one but the textures are missing when trying the plane out on my new PC - I end up with a white Canberra with no markings. Tried to convert the textures to DDS but it won't let me do it with DDs Coverter 2.

Are you running in DX10 mode...if so switch to DX9 :)
 
How exciting...

...yet ANOTHER EE Canberra. Can't get too many of these, can we?

Now if someone would only do the major B-57 variants life would be great in FSX Canberra-land.

Lol, some could say the same thing about the various F-16s, Tornados and P-51s out there for FS!! True, the Canberra has been done before, but I am massively biased as a huge Canberra fan, and you can never have enough of the old girl in my opinion! I am doing the B-57A/RB-57A, but not the tandem canopy I'm afraid...not a big fan of it, but if the rest of the models do well and there is a lot of interest, I will probably do 'em :)
 
Black canopy in VC view

Hello,

Finally broke down and joined the Canberra Club! Very impressed. Bought the Tugs & Trainers pack. Very nice indeed.

In FSX, though, my canopy (when in VC) is black. Not in 2D. Only on the T 17, not the T4.Thinking myself clever, I subbed in another glass_T.bmp file from the T 17 - which works fine... , but of course, I've been outsmarted yet again. I think it's the size of file needed for replacement that accounted for this switch to not work - or the more likely theory, that I'm smart like a bag of hammers.

In any event, if anyone has a suitable fix, I'd be much obliged.

Cheers - and bravo Flying Stations!!

Me too, just bought it !...but mine has a slight hitch . The windscreen is dark and cold !..black. The scenery is out there , I just know it is <LABEL for=rb_iconid_19></LABEL><LABEL for=rb_iconid_19></LABEL> . How to clean the screen ?
 
Sorry to hear you are having these problems chaps. The glass texture was a known issue from an external point of view against certain cloud textures, and now I am hearing these reports of black VC glass as well. Having designed these for FS9, I can't say I have ever done much testing in FSX (limited to one B-57A spin when I bought FSX), but my beta testers had no problems with the earlier packs regarding VC glass during FSX testing.

If I recall rightly, I did make a change to the VC glass on the TT pack. Try this glass_t.bmp file from the B.2 pack and see how you get on with it. If I have a mo this weekend I will do some troubleshooting on it myself. Good of you to pick these up being FSX-users though.
