i am brand new, sorry for posting did a quick search with no luck

i am running flight simulator x with acceleration pac.
i wanted a few more planes so i came here, just bought the subscription, downloaded an airbus 380
created a new folder for it under my airplanes folder in sim objects

i can find the plane, i can fly it all of the gauges are fine, but the exterior of the is a dull grey with no patterns or paint color. i picked this one

In the graphics tab of the Sim there is a box DX10, UNcheck it and the colors will be back.

Try flying in Window mode. It might crash less or not at all, it could also be the last item that you installed.

Apply the two fixes as suggested in the file description:

(See also I380-FIX.ZIP, I380FIX2.ZIP)


Those will solve most of your problems - you won't even have to fly in windowed mode.
Ask Radarman for the links to the fixes, he's got the authority.
