Rick I think this problem was mentioned earlier in the thread, something about altering the glass.bmp or similar...

The alpha channel on the VC canopy textures needed darkening or you can't see out.... was the bit I was on about :)

perfect now and still have the reflections.

Ian,

Thanks for the Info. I had put the throttle all the way back as per the instructions, BUT NOT pulled it back up once the engine temp had increased a little, I'll try this now.

Peter, Ctrl-E is what I ended up using yesterday, but its more fun the other way :lol:

Off to fly this wonderful creation, quite possibly one of the best freeware aircraft I've ever seen (Apart, or course, from the 1-11, Trident, Hunter and Dove!)

I don't know about the others, but it's way better than my Hunters :lol:
Puts a lot of payware to shame.

Well that fixed it I can now manually start the aircraft, thanks again for the help.

All I can say is that this still amazes me, well done to Jan and the team for such a great aircraft! I dont normally fly classic jets or jet fighters in general but this is definatly worth an exception.
