Hi, If I'm not too mistaken, the alpha channels has been reverted in FSX, so if the alpha channel is black in FS9, it should be white in FSX ....
At least when I use the FSX-SDK tool (imagetool.exe) and inverted the alpha channel it all looked right... (pic coming up)

I've used different conversion/alpha implementations here and there, and as you can see some places shows fine, and others not quite so fine. The main thing is to keep the alpha in order to get some reflection on the aircraft. Removing it isn't the good solution I think. A usable, but not a good solution.

Black texture = wrong texture-alias.. that's it.
Remember the "Add to aircraft.cfg" part ;-)

Well, that is a graphic card problem .. I'm pretty sure....
Btw. do you have FSX + SP2 (or Acc.)
As the picture shows it all looks very jaggy, so I'm pretty sure it is a graphic card problem.

SP2 will help you A LOT! first apply SP1, restart FSX and close down. then install SP2. Actually I'm pretty sure that SP2 will solve your problem with the black textures. But instead you will get those very shiny textures, which have been discussed in this thread. I'll take this with Tony privately, and we will solve the "shiny" problem and reupload the corrected textures ... in due time Both available from fsinsider.com Tony... I'll PM you...

Hi C4N welcome to HJG
As stated just above, it's a problem that we are currently looking into.
The solution will be part of one of the web-site updates. Until it figures there, please either try things out for yourselves, or be patient and wait for the official solution (no promises given)

The mirror shine is because for some reasion the alpha sometimes corrupts to an all black alpha...this is why I always add alphas myself and never have the programmes add them automatically
This can happen in FS.9 and FS.X
There is no difference as far as I know in alpha shine between the two sims at least nothing I've ever done hgas come out different in FS.X
The alpha transparency is reversed but that is something else.
Inverting the alpha should fix it but these aircraft generally look better without
Apart from metal areas only perhaps half a dozen of my 600 odd paints have alphas.
If you call the offending mirrored textures up in DXT.BMP I would wager the alpha is black.
Garry

Sorry I was going to look into this wasnt I! Well due to an injury my paintbrushes are put away for a little while very sorry about that suffice to say 10 mins on a pc keyboard is all I can manage at the moment before pain stops all fun If anyone can fix these textures so we can change the file that would be great.. I do hate FSX for not displaying aircraft as FS9 does...Grrrrr dont mind me just moaning as my 10 minutes is about up!
