Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hello Liam, What are your system specs and also your graphics card type and model, also can you tell me did this just happen maybe after a driver install or has it been like this since the install. Can you see out from the cockpit views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you see out from the cockpit views. im running fsx acceleration on a 2.13 Ghz processor. my graphics card is an nvidia geforce 7300le. its always been like this. i havnt installed anything new lately and i have reinstalled it more than once. i also have the E-jets from wilco, and they work fine.

Not sure how to solve your problem now but if you want to avoid this problem in the future make sure you only use products that are pure FSX and not FS2004 based.

ManuelL 71 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I have the same problem with the Wilco Airbus. I have searched the web and it seems they don't work with Vista or Win7 64bit. As far as I could see there is no fix for this. Edit: probaly there is a way to fix it by copying over window textures from FS9. Have a look here: http://www.iemit.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=7061 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edspace 1 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 whats with the black windows? i have found other threads online, but none are conclusive or have a useful solution. is there an easy fix for this? everything else is fine. Unfortunately there isn't any way to make the windows transparent beause these models are for Fs2004 and were ported into FSX. all was fine until SP2 which broke a lot of texture transparencies. Anyway, head over to Just flight's website, they have a window fix for download which is for the airbus series volume 1. Worked on my installation. http://www.justflight.com/faqs.asp?drdProduct=157&supportProductName=Airbus Series Vol. 1#Update394 Ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edspace 1 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Looking at the Evolution upgrade for Wilco Airbus it doesn't look as if this problem was going to be resolved. So I've looked into this further and fixed the problem myself for the opaque cockpit windows in FSX SP2. I'm currently talking with Wilco about how they want the fix implemented. I'll post something here when the fix is out. BTW it involves altering the model so no amount of tampering with the textures will help. Here's a picture of the A318 to show what it should look like.
