Just Flight's Wildcat

Your welcome Steve, good luck!! Keep us posted, and let me know if you have any more questions:salute:

OK, I just did the F4F-3 model and used 50,50,50 and I like it a lot from the outside, BUT when I jumped in to take her for a flight I got a surprise. I had pretty hot-pink lower canopy frames! Now this is where it gets really weird. Before doing any changes I copied the original model folder just in case I screwed up. Now, having figured that I DID screw up I replaced the F4F-3.mdl file I altered with the original and restarted FSX. OK, the outside was once again shiny as original but the hot-pink was still waiting for me when I jumped inside!!! I selected an F4F-4 aircraft and all was good inside as I expected. So at this point I figure I'll try de-shining one of these and see what happens. This time everything looks great outside and inside and I didn't do anything different. The only explanation I can come up with is the texture was corrupt from the get-go as since I just got the Wildcat I think maybe I had NEVER been in the F4F-3 cockpit before I altered the file. I believe I only had 2 flights prior and they were in the -4s. I may just re download and install the whole thing again unless anyone has a better idea.:isadizzy:
