Are they there, do they have textures, are they just gray, do they show in the preview window???

they are there, depending on the backround you can see the outline. EG. It they pass in front of a cloud they obscure the cloud and you can see the outline! but they are essentially transparent. they appear the same way in the preview window. If I drop the landing gear that appears normal.

What video card do you have.

Are you certain that they are made for FSX not FS9.

Do you ever see color on them at all.

Does this happen to all aircraft including the default.

I downloaded them from this site and they are for FSX
I have 2xGTX8800 in sli
Maybe I installed them incorrectly but I dont think so!
I only happens to the two I installed!

If it's only on two they may not be installed correctly, recheck all you did and read the read-me that came with the download.

I followed the instructions for downloading Mitsubishi MU-2E Japanese Coast Guard.

Same problem ! no paint? everything else seems to work right! whats the problem?
The small view in "Current AIRcraft" where you go to change planes is painted correctly.

Are these planes checked before their released?

I have several planes that do this from this site! (space shuttle) (both the (2) MU-2E 's)

And other planes from this site are ok?

Are we missing a file on the download?

In Vista only, uncheck the DX10 box in FSX's settings. See if that helps.

Unchecking Dx10. That works !

Thanks "RADARMAN" I appreciate your help!

Apparently DX10 is not compatible with these aircraft!
