FSD Cessna 0-2A

[rdyoung]

I just checked and, sure enough, I have slightly modified my FSD 337 panel.cfg file VCockpit01 to alleviate some or all of the VC transparency issues in FSX SP2/Accel (may have been done before SP2 was installed):

background_color=1,0,0
//background_color=0,0,0

I do not recall where I came across this suggestion originally.

That's interesting, because the reason I uninstalled the O-2 (but not the 337s) was because the O-2 suffered terribly from gaping gaps in the panel with Accel, but the 337s don't.

Ian,

Same experience here, the 337 is ok the O-2 has panel dispay issues,
but it dosen't matter because apparently the FSD full FSX upgrade for acceleration will hopefully address this issue.

Once we all in the FS communtiy embrace SP-2 and are on the same sheet of music it will be time to introduce FS11 with mutilple service packs to follow. The we can start all over again...lol it's our hobby huh...

i am hoping that aces will be smart about it for fs11 and end the backwards compatibility and start fresh

As I understand it,
FS11 will be backwards compatible only to FSX SP2/Acceleration...

what does that mean exactly? just the hornet and the eh-101 and the mustang? or does it mean anything that flies in sp2 ?

GUys:

You got me thinking and I went back to the 337 and O2A and made a few changes to the panel.cfg file........ So far the issues stated in the VC are no longer there....

Please try the following and let me know.

Open the panel.cfg file:

Go to the VC portion of the file...... look for background_color=0,0,0

Change to = background_color=1,0,0

Now go the end of the panel.cfg file and find:

[Color]
Day=255,255,255
Night=00,00,00
Luminous=00,00,00

change it to the above example................. now save the changes.

One more thing....... You will have to open the loadout.cfg file and make the same changes to the appropriate section and save this as well.

Now go into FSX and see if the problem still exists.

Best and good luck

Jim

Hi Jim,

Regarding making the above changes to the O-2

where is the "loadout .cfg" located? In the aircraft folder?

All I see is the airfile, aircraft.cfg, model etc. so I must be looking in the wrong place.

Thanks,

Captdoug

I think it's in the 'data' folder...
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\FSD O2A\Data

I've been flying the O-2 for ages and don't have any issues with it--using sp2 and acceleration. Just don't try to use it in DX10 mode. Also, they have some dds textures available for it and they work great. Not bad for a port over.

Just purchased the O-2A and I agree with the above comment . I have no issues with it and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite planes . I have implemented Jim's panel config changes listed here in this tread but I really did'nt have the transparency issues as stated above . the gauge technology used with this palne is excellent . I personnally would highly recommend this aircraft and with the future upgrade it can only make a great plane even greater.

Thanks Jim and team ,

Rich

HI , my name is Bruce and i use portovers ..... {hi bruce}

Actually Bruce , this is my fourth reinstall(Clean) of FSX due to a simconnect problem(Which I still hav'nt corrected) . A previous install I probably had 45 or 50 portovers . There is just too many excellent FS9 AC that work very well in FSX. I plan on loading loading them and many more back into my current install of FSX . (SP2/Accel)

I tried the .cfg modifactions mentioned above and still no joy...

the VC Panel and cockpit still are slightly transparent.

It's ashame for the moment but i'll push it back in the hanger to fly another day in the future.

Thanks all for the suggestions,

Captdoug
