About a week ago I got the sudden urge to try some repainting in FSX so went and grabbed a nice biplane, the Travel Air.  I'm certain I didn't have this issue when I first installed the plane, because I had quite a bit of fun buzzing it around Sweden, but now that I've finished my repaint I've noticed that both said repaint and the original folder of the Travel Air I kept for backup now have a major graphical glitch.  When the camera is in the virtual cockpit, there is a large square patch of transparency in the prop...hopefully it's pretty self-explanatory, but I'll upload a screenshot if necessary.

I'm fairly sure this is a model issue, though again, I'm convinced this issue wasn't there before or I would have had a conniption.  It doesn't appear when the camera is elsewhere (on spot or something), and the hole loads before the textures do, though all the same I mucked with the prop textures in there to see if I could fix it myself.  At this point, the only ideas I have is that it has either something to do with the panel or the model, neither of which I have any experience with at all.

The original plane is downloadable here, no gauges or anything to mess with, just drag and drop.  I know it's a bit of a hassle, but I'd really appreciate any help I could get with this before I go bald with misplaced anxiety.  Thanks!

Sorry for the delay in replying, and sorry for posting in the wrong board.  I thought I should post here, since I'm nearly certain it doesn't have to do with the textures, but now I'm not so sure it's even a problem with the plane now that you've said the plane works fine for you.  I actually sent the original link (not the repaint; the problem is in both, however) to a friend and he had the same problem, so now I'm incredibly confused.  I've also tried messing with my graphics settings to no avail.

Here's a screenshot of the issue I'm having:

It is where the passenger's head is, yeah.  I never really noticed that before, since I never used the passenger before.  You'll notice that even when the passenger's mug is blocking your line of sight ( ) the box of transparency is still there in front.  I gave a start when you mentioned SP2, though, because I really should have thought of that before.  I confirmed it by uninstalling Acceleration, then reinstalling it.  So I guess now it is a texture question (sorry )...I need to find out how to get rid of that box.  I imagine there's some alpha channel I need to fix?  Black out, or make all white?  I already tried that before, but I must have missed something.  Either that or I'm barking up the wrong tree again.  Are there any more experienced repainters who would be able to have a peek in that folder and tell me what I've got to do?
