Can't see my plane (Read 1782 times)

When I am in the normal cockpit view and I look around with my hat switch, I can't see any part of my plane. (such as wings and props on twin engine planes) I can see through the plane and get a full screen view of what is directly behind me. This didn't used to be the case and happens with both downloaded and default aircraft. While it's great for spotting traffic, I like seeing my plane when I look around. Any ideas? Thanks

Other than downloading more planes, absolutely nothing.

This can be normal with some downloaded planes.but not the default aircraft.have you pressed the w key to see if the panel comes back in view?.try the w key and shift+1 key and see if it gets better.let us know if it dont.

Nope, tried it but nothing. The instrument panel turns off and on properly but the surrounding cockpit and exterior surfaces remain invisible. If I use the hat switch to look around in the virtual cockpit, everything remains intact. If I use the numpad in the virtual cockpit, I just get full screen views of the scenery. I also can't see my taxi/landing lights in the normal cockpit mode or in the normal eye-point position in the virtual cockpit. If I move the eye-point even slightly in the virtual or move to spot view I see them fine. Possibly related problems?

Did this just recently start or is this the way its been since you installed the sim?.if this just recently started then you may have corrupted the sim some how if you have been adding or changeing things in the sim.i have been working with sims since 1995 when the first one came out and i still run into problems from time to time even as much as i know about it.and if this be the case then i would uninstall and reinstall the sim.but if this is the way its been since you installed then make shure you have the newest drivers for your video card and directx 9.b installed.and just start with that.
