I have been enjoying this gem for the last few days as a break from 3 or 4 projects I got started on and need to get away from for a bit. Really an excellent little airplane and for it's time nicely detailed with a good sound.
In updating the liveries and doing a few new ones I've come across a problem not seen in the 7AC model. The 7BCM version has a beefed up tail section and since it didn't fit as part of the fuselage texture sheet (it's pretty tight) they made a separate texture for the tail. Problem is it shows as transparent in the sim when applying an alpha. Since the fuselage already had an alpha applied I surmised that dual alphas in that area was the cause. Problem is that removing the alpha from the small added texture only serves to remove the shine.
Is anyone still flying this beauty and seen the problem I mention? If so, is there a fix?
