Go into the menu of the Sims settings and on the graphic tab take the checkmark out of the DX10 box.
If that doesn't do it your video card may not be able to render the graphic intensive aircraft, then you will have to reduce some of the other sides.

Thanks for the reply RadarMan, but i don't think i have the option to turn on/off the DX10....i went into Setting, then clicked the tab 'Graphics' but nothing about DX10 was visible! I am running FSX on Windows 7, not too sure if DX10 is just built into the system or not?!?!?!?! i don't understand why i can load other aircrafts but the airbus a340-6 will only show the wings and everything else is black on the exterior of the aircraft? |

If your video card is DX10 capable and you have SP1 and SP2 installed it should be there.

Do you have FSX Acceleration installed ?
I had the same problem, uninstalled FSX Acceleration, and re-installed just FSX. That solved my problem. I can now see all the aircraft that I couldn't see previously.

OK, hard to see the specs on such a small jpeg.
What is your video card.
Try getting new drivers for your video card, usually the ones that come with the machine are old.
If you have an Nvidia card try without enhancer first (I'm an ATi user, not too familiar with that).
Don't forget to clean out the old drivers before you install new ones.

No this is fine.
2gigs memory for W7 64bit isn't really enough.
I don't know what video card you have but this looks like a laptop not a desktop.
If it is a laptop then the video card is using "shared ram". that means it too is using some of the 2gigs.
Try turning down all the slides even though the Sim will looks bad and then see if the aircraft looks good.
Most of the ram is probably going to scenery (autogen) instead of rendering the aircraft.
Let us know how that works.

I tried taking down graphics but nothing changes.
I think its something wrong with installation because all my other aircrafts are perfect? |

If it's just that one. delete it and find another one.
No point in reinstalling just for one problem aircraft.

Yea however that's like the only full-proof a340-600 available..... And works properly, and it's the model not a repaint. I would like to get one on fsx, it seems that it won't be possible so do you have any ideas where I can get a full proof working a340-600 (reliable like flyawaysimulation) model? Thank you so much for all your help. |

Which do you have and are you willing to get pay-ware.
The only reason I hesitate at pay-ware for you is the fact that I don't think your machine with 2gigs ram and an unknown video card can render a pay-graphic intensive one.
