P3D v4 VC Texture flicker-->SOLVED NOW

[thunder100]

Dear All


forget below

solution was-->P3DV4.5

the gauge carrier textures -->usually something like $panel.bmp NEED Z-BIAS -1 ( minus 1)
Panel texture--where the gauges are on-->xxx.bmp,xxx.dds NEED Z-BIAS 2 ( just 2 positive 2 )


Past gone now
I try hard to move TBM700 to P3DV4.5(5)

Outside model all good. But inside I get a texture flicker in VC which with my knowledge I could not eliminate

I did

on the tabpilote + co pilote textures I changed Z-Bias to positive higher, negative lower
I use panel.cfg with texture and without
[Vcockpit03]
file=Tabcopilote.bmp -->//file=Tabcopilote.bmp
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=910,910
texture as 24 bit and DDS
Change Z-Bias of the $db... textures


even in MDLV It shows up

Any bright idea how to eleiminate the flicker ?

Thank you

Roland

What does the complete header for VCockpit03 look like?

Dear Tom

Thats the flicker VC1

TBM_Instr! is not P3D Compatibel- so do not show at all-just the orange ones

Sorry, I do not understand what is flickering? The orange gauges are flickering?

 

[thunder100]

Sorry Tom

The orange ones are the only ones to show up as the others are not in. Flickering is a kind of grey layer over them which covers almost 90% of the captains panel.

Thank you for help

Roland

 

[tgibson]

Are you sure you are not behind the captain's seat or something similar?

 

[tgibson]

Have you tried making the $texture transparent in the Material Editor? (Set Default Transparent)

 

[thunder100]

Yes all of them Transparent

If I change the Z-Bias ( minus on the Panel BMP's the flicker gets less- still there )
