Unfortunately, Doug's panel fix did not work. Sad

I've been wondering if you tried it. Can't think why it didn't work for you. Perhaps I didn't explain it very well. The easiest & quickest fix is to Invert Alpha on gaugeglass.bmp.

That's not what I'm getting Doug. Where your openings in the panel show white, my entire panel is black.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

That's odd. Have you edited any other textures at some time or another? Perhaps try it on a fresh install of the aircraft. This is where I got mine. http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=FS2004+Christen+Eagle+II+Packag...

If that doesn't work I've run out of suggestions.

No, I've never fooled with the textures on the Eagle, until now. I'm downloading it now. I think I will check the textures and panel folder to see if there are any differences before I install it. Thanks Doug.

Very nice scenery. What is it? Is it a freebie? The airplane is quite sharp, too.

Thanks.

I don't remember where I took off from, probably Bremerton, my home airport. In any event, I'm positive it's FTX NA and probably PNW, not freeware, but well worth the price. PNW,

Pacific Northwest, PFJ Pacific Fjords, and NRM Northern Rocky Mountains all butt up together to create a large area in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Canada. Add Tongass Fjords, which butts up

to them and looks almost identical, and you increase the size of the area by about 25%. Those four are my favorite places to fly and the best I have purchased.

Got it Doug. Apparently, there was a problem with the glassgauge.bmp. I just copied the one from the new download and pasted it in, modified the alpha channel and voila, I has gauges. Grin

Then I had to paste it in all the other 32 texture folders. Roll Eyes

Thanks for all the help.
