DC-6 V2 missing textures in FSX

[midnightmusic]

Has anyone else noticed that the FSX version of the DC-6 V2 by Jens Kristensen is missing the engine textures in the package I downloaded at Avsim? I wrote Jens an e-mail but I never heard anything back. Anyone know what we can do?

Hi Lee

I hadn't noticed that but upon looking you are correct the missing texture is cyl_16 dds if you have jens b307 for fsx you can copy the it from the shared texture file and past it into the shared texture file of the dc6 and dc6 late

Worked like a charm, thanks.

Hi Lee,

In the personal mail you sent me, you wrote

>I have the FSX version and the engine nacelle textures
>seem to be missing. You can see right through them

- and I have not been able to reproduce this problem. I'ts true the Cylinder dds-texture was left out by mistake, but that's not a big problem.

Have you really seen the nacelles as transparent, and have others seen this problem? They look fine to me (FSX SP2 in Windows XP)

Best regards

Jens

Hi Jens

I havn't seen any transparent engine nacelles in any of the dc6 paint jobs ? only thing is cyl textures but as you say no big deal

best regards Edd

Well, I've had a few more reports of transparent engines - and I now know adding the missing cyl_16.dds texture files solves it. Maybe it's an issue with FSX acceleration only, and not with the standalone SP2? I don't know, but I think I will upload an update of the FSX version of the DC-6 to fix this problem.

Best regards

Hi Jens,

the c74 also has the cyl_16.dds missing from the install as well as the dc6 its odd that some are getting transparent nacelles I tried both with the missing cyl texture file present and absent didn't get any transparency I wander why that happens ?
