Can you fix the panel? The instruments flash for me.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, what video card do you have. I have only tested this with a G force card.

As for fixing it, does anyone know why they would be flashing?

im running in Glide with a V5. I think it could be a sub facing issue...

Hawk,

You need to set the subfacing for those polygons, JUST like shadows. Look in the LOD file, see the flags - compare a shadow LOD's flag to your LODS - make the update.

Subfacing just tells the renderer that you want one poly to always be on top of another - in the case that they are flush. Shadows are flush to the ground - and instrument shadows are flush with the panel - so these need subfacing to work in certain graphic modes.

What I really want to do is make a correct panal. This could be something I am not ready to learn (my head reads "no vacancy" at the moment:-)

If someone wants to help me make the correct panel with instruments so I can learn this process please don't be shy.

ArgonV I have tried to fix this but actually messed up the panel more! I might have to leave this to someone with panel savy.
