Hello Andy. The Lockheed Constellation for Korea shows up black. Can you provide a fix for that ? Greatly appreciated. Also may need to update it in the downloads section , if possible. Thanks for any help. Regards ,Scott
 
There are two downloads in the library (2017, and 2018). You should install the 2017 one, and then update with the 2018 files.

You must have AnKor's Shaders active for this aircraft.

If the aircraft appears black or grey in the game it is often associated with a *_r.dds or *_s.dds file that was saved with an alpha layer that will need to be resaved without the alpha.

This should not be the issue if you're using the files provided from the library.
 
Do i need to change the file names on the updated files ? When installing it only replaces two files ,and when tested shows up all black. Have Ankor's shaders installed. Or do in need to remove any files from the original aircraft ? Thanks for any help. I'm such a dummy when it comes to these things. Lol ! Regards,Scott
 
It sounds like the install was proper, so I don't know what's gone wrong.

I rechecked my install yesterday and everything works as it should.

What happens if you toggle AnKor's Shaders off? (O on the num pad if you have Numpad0Switch=1 in the d3d8.ini)

On mine it turns the entire aircraft into a mirror except for the props.
 
When i switch Ankor's shaders off it turns like a mirror shine . The same as yours. Switch it back on and it is all black. Regards, Scott.
 
Weird. Shows up fine in my ETO install , but shiny black in the Korea install. Install configs are the same in both expansions.
 
Problem solved. Rene found a problem in the M3D file,( in the beginning the materials had to have all 0's). Had to be something in the Korea install ,which is basically stock except for Ankor's shaders. My ETO instal is highly modded. Strange never the less. Regards, Scott
