    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 we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Mistubishi F-2A issue

I've been enjoying the Team FS KBT FSX/FS2004 Mitsubishi F-2A for some time now. I forget where I first downloaded it, but the file name is f-2a_dko.zip. As I said, I enjoy the model, but in conditions other than complete daylight, the glass in the virtual cockpit becomes completely opaque. If anyone familiar with this model has had this problem, I would appreciate your sharing what you did to solve it. Even a proper identification of the vc glass texture file would be of help, because I could probably switch it out with a texture that works.

Many thanks in advance.

I used that model in the past, and if I remember correctly, the textures just need some alpha channel inversion, the usual stuff for FS9 aircrafts in FSX.
I don't remember the exact file names though, but I believe they were easy enough to identify. You just need to install the freeware DXTBMP and use the "browse" function from the menu. It will allow you to preview the files one by one before opening them.
The textures you're looking for are showing the reflection of the pilot, if I'm not mistaken. Best is to fly at night, to get the canopy opaque, and look carefully at that canopy, so that you can recognize it in the files.
 
Invert the Alpha... Thanks Daube. Took me all of thirty seconds to fix. Sometimes I just think too hard. Thanks also for the links. As I'm sure I've said before, I have no problems using old a/c as long as I continue to enjoy them. I still use my CFS2 portovers and my Copley XP-38N.
