    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.

Moving canopy..........

I built a low poly F86 Sabre, in GMax, for a project we are working on. As an AI all works fine. After completing the AI aircraft I saved a copy, raised it to ground level with the gear down and exported it (FS9) as a Scenery Object. All looks well except for the semi-transparent canopy, which when viewed in the simulator, ends up underneath the aircraft.

If I texture the canopy with anything but a transparent material, it stays where it belongs.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey Al,


I saw this post over at FSDevelopers.com also. I didnt respond as I havent heard of this issue before and had no advice to offer you.

Really odd that its doing this.

Have you tried linking all parts to a common node part, such as an exterior node? Then the canopy will be anchored to 'something' at all times.

Did you reset the Gizmo to the world environment? that 'might' have something to do with it, but I doubt it.

FSX is so darn moody... arrgh.
