    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.

Nor-Cal Wilga Tundra vc windows cloudy

SOH-CM-2026
I d/l the Nor-Cal Wilga from Simviation for my FSX Accel and it is a good little STOL aircraft originally modeled for FS9 based on the "Wicked Wilga" model. External views through the glass are normal, outward looking from 2D cockpit is normal. However, when in vc view, the outward view is normal for about five seconds, flashes a couple of times and turns light blue/gray (totally omitting the outside view).:banghead: I do not have DX10 preview checked. I checked all the textures with Imagetool and the ones I see are all dxt3. I've googled the problem and someone mentioned a "rain fix for the vc" for the "Wicked Wilga", but I can not find any of the links that are still active. This was discussed around 2008. I d/l Wicked Wilga and the view is still the same. There is no 2D in the Wicked model but the vc is still gray.
Any ideas? The gauges work fine in vc, just looking through the windows after five seconds and it's like they're painted grayish. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Terry
 
Roger, thank you for the prompt reply, however, instead of the gray screen out the windows, I now have a black screen. This phenom happens regardless of the weather, even clear skies. Not sure what's up. Prop blur and outside looking in are all good. Thank you for the link.
 
:banghead: After getting the solid black texture out the window, I reran the "fixit" and it said it converted the "moving and stopped rain texture" files back to the original but I no longer have the flashing "maybe" real world texture, but now a solid black texture. I see a small "break" in the instrument panel and can see the real world peeking through. I restarted FSX and no change. Not sure how and where to apply the dark alpha channel that you speak of.
 
I've just installed the FSX version of the 'Wicked Wilga' into FSX SE and I'm also plagued with the black windows.

Was there ever a fix for this?

Pete.
 
Pete, no I was never able to find a fix for the anamoly. It's unfortunate as looking out the VC was good for awhile, but when the windows clouded up, nothing worked. The rain fix made the windows black. Sorry.. I wish there was something that could be done...Terry
 
Thanks for your reply.

It's a shame that there doesn't appear to be a fix for this issue.

Pete.
