Greetings, everyone!
Today something has happened which I have never before seen. I run FS9 on an old, reliable XP machine that doesn't do much else other than run FS9. It doesn't give me any trouble or problems...very reliable.
I love my DC8's...really I do!
That being said, today I cranked the computer up and launched FS9. I began my sim at the KSEA default, in the default Cessna. The next thing I did was 'Select Aircraft' where I located my Douglas DC8-62's...and noticed the 'something' that I've never before seen.
As I select different airlines, the rotating DC8-62 in the preview window changes appropriately as it should, however each one has door L2 open. The aft door on the port side of a DC8 is referred to as L2, correct?
If I select a DC8-62F, not only is door L2 open in the preview window but the large cargo door is also wide open.
The cockpit glass is also displayed in a very strange color.
Finally, the wings and all four P&W's, regardless of airline selected, appear in a funky, flat grey color. (Aharon, you would not like it!)
If I actually select one of the 62's, it appears with door L2 open. It will not close. I tried every 'hot' key. Even 'Shift-E' has zero effect.
The DC8-62 (plus F and H) are the only aircraft I am experiencing this sort of problem with. Everything else is running very well.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I should start, or what I should or shouldn't do?
It goes without saying that I VERY much appreciate everyone's time and consideration.
Best Regards,
James
