I downloaded a Socata TBM 700 from this site as freeware and when I launch in FSX two things happen I would like to remedy.
1.) Plane loads on runway with nose high attitude in an inoperable condition in external view. I have to give a big throttle bump and then quickly add brake to make the nose come down so plane can be operated. What can I do to fix?
2.) When VC is activated the cockpit glass appears fine for less than a second and then goes opaque first time - inside and out!? what gives? I saw a post somewhere about how to remedy but now can not re-locate the solution - IDEAS? Please help.

Its an older FS2004 aicraft that isn't fully compatible with FSX/SP2

The window may be able to be fixed by using some image editing software to invert the alpha channel. It can sometimes be fixed, but not always.

As for the other condition. I'm not sure. Maybe its starting out with the CG to far aft? Don't know...

The problem can be solved easilly, and there are already topics talking about it if I remember correctly. I have modified my textures and now the TBM works perfect in my FSX SP2.

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Thanks for both replies. Funny thing is you do get just a second of the VC view out of the cockpit glass AND its fully normal, but then it goes opaque and stays that way (inside AND outside). That's just really weird. I'll check the Aircraft's CG point . Great idea. Should have thought of it myself

Not sure I know what the Alpha Channel of the graphic images/textures are but I'll find out and let you know if I get it fixed.

Daube,
If you can remember where you saw that "texture fix" post or can advise what I need to do to the textures myself itwould be great. I believe I saw the thread too but just can't seem to find it again - I would really appreciate it if you can advide where to look.
