weird...planes look almost "chrome"....why??
hey guys.....it's not really a problem , but i had been using G3.0 for the longest time ,and finally downloaded and installed the G3.5 patch. What's the deal with the airplanes looking so shiney , that they almost look like they are chrome? It's almost "translucent" looking. I like the older scew of the color scheme's better.......so they don't burn the friggin retina's out of my eye's. Anyone know how to mellow this out a little and get a little dullish color back onto the airplanes. The heli's don't look that bad , it's just the airpplanes for some reason.
any help here would be good. Thanks guys!

RE: weird...planes look almost "chrome"....why??
well......haven't heard of any similar problems here from anyone else here. I have no clue on what it could have been.
UPDATE : I ended up uninstalling G3.5 , and re-installing it...........same thing. so i uninstalled it again , and this time , i didn't run the 3.5 patch , i just left the sim at G3.0......and all the problems we're gone. hmmm??

go to the source. ask the tech guys at knifeedge.com. not plugging another site here, just sayin it might be better to ask the folks that actually made the program.

Maybe your video card was adequate for 3.0 but isn't quite up to grade with 3.5. I had to upgrade my video card for that reason.
Try reducing the video requirements by disabling some of the shadow, background texturing, trees waving, etc to see if it makes a difference.
