Add-ons and Repaint

Hello All,

I am curious to why the pan am space plane is transparent when loaded, and if the Millennium falcon ship has autopilot or not, Not sure why the Awing ship has it. and help with repaint. I repainted a plane for practice, it shows up on the abacus program but not in fsx. I deleted and re-installed the program and the plane in fsx and the paint was still there. So I deleted the plane, deleted and re-installed again and the plane is gone forever, in the repaint program (no biggy, it was practice) but that's not encouraging. So any help I could get would be appreciated.


Thanks
Capt B
