Transparent aircraft?

Hi all
A few days ago on FS9 I noticed that all my aircraft had become slightly transparent

not by much but enough to see the taxi lines through the fuselage, I wasn't that concened but after firing up FS9 tonight the problem seems to have got worse :crying: All I can do is assume that it is a texture or reflection file has been overwritten or something? Anyone else ever had this problem? HELP
Cheers
Iain

Hi Iain
Sounds like your envmap.bmp has got overwritten
(found in your FS9/Texture folder?)
you should be able to find it by looking at the cab files on the original FS2004 discs. (i think it's on disc 2 or 3) can't check as i gave away my FS2004 to an old boy at work
Regards
Rick

Iain, you haven't taken to dressing up like Wonder Woman at weekends have you ? She had a transparent plane, as I recall.

Hi Hinch
What difference do all these different versions make? :think:

I recently had this problem after installing the Just Flight Spitfire pack. Even after uninstalling the problem remained. I did a system restore which solved it. After re-installing the Spitfires everything was O/K.
