ThePilot_Ace 0 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Hi guys. I have recently bought the wonderful KatanaX and installed the update for SP2 because I have Acceleration. For some reason I cannot access the checklists (shift+F11). I can see the navigation (i.e. before take off) but I cannot click the links. Why is this? Perhaps it is a bug?

ThePilot_Ace 0 Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Not sure why support hasn't replied. Also, wings are transparent at night when lights are on and landing lights can't be seen on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hello ThePilot_Ace, The problem with the checklist has been mentioned before, FSX removed the ability to use it (I believe its was HTML) in FSX so the checklist wont work. Why they did this is not known. Folks were hoping it would be re-implemented in a service pack but you no MS. As for the wing problem can you attach a screenshot of the issue please.

ThePilot_Ace 0 Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Here you go I think you guys can test the lights not showing on the ground yourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Hello ThePilot_Ace, Yes I see the problem with the main and tail wing transparency, but I dont see a problem with the lights on the ground.. I have sent Mathijs a mail regarding this, but I tried changing the main wing and tail textures from DXT3 to DXT1 and it seemed to fix the issue for now.

Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hello Philippe,Firstly you need Imagetool, do you have access to this or a graphics tool that can convert DXT3 to DXT1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philippe 3 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hi again Shaun!Thanks for the help! It worked well! I also notice now that the mainframe of the aircraft has the same problem. The wings and tail are fine. Would you happen to know which file I need to convert to DXT1 as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
