Odd Layer Visibility in FSX

[lionheart]

Hey guys,


I have an Altimeter that has a wierd effect going on, but only in VC mode in FSX. In 2D panel mode, and in all modes in FS9, it works fine. But in FSX in the VC, you can see the black outline around the 10K needle.


Is there a fix or format that can enable the black zone to disappear as it should?


Odd that it works fine in the other sim modes and types, but not in VC mode of FSX.

Here is the code;

Thanks for any input.

Yep...

Got you again on this one.

(bad for me though.. arrghh.. )



Why on Earth would a layer in a round gauge be showing the black zone 'only' in VC mode, and only in FSX??


Odd....
