I installed the Owl to FSX,added the line interior=...to the model.cfg.
All ok but the crew remains black.
Is there any solution?

You're missing the texture: pilot_uhu.bmp.
It's in the main FS2004 texture folder together with other files:
glass_uhu1.bmp
glass_uhu2.bmp
napis_uhu.bmp
prop_uhu.bmp
radio_uhu.bmp
uhu_glass_t.bmp
uhutank.bmp

Hello ELKY and ROB!

I'm experiencing the same thing.

From the exterior look, I have no glass for the cockpit. I have a black crew and no texture for the droptank which isn't coming of correctly either when I want to drop it.

Other than that the Uhu is most plesant aircraft to fly. You can be very proud of this plane!

Exatly, what shall I do to correct these things?

Best regards!

Hi.
1. Textures to local(!) textures

Try to find all these files

glass_uhu1.bmp
glass_uhu2.bmp
napis_uhu.bmp
prop_uhu.bmp
radio_uhu.bmp
uhu_glass_t.bmp
uhutank.bmp

in the root FS9 texture folder and copy them to each of the 219 local(!) livery folders in FSX.

search tip: *uhu*.bmp in FS9/texture

2. Effects to effects
Don't forget to copy the FX files from FS9/effects to FSX/effects folders:

fx_wop_vclight_uhu
fx_WOP_strobe
fx_wop_cel

3. Gauges to gauges.
wop_he219.cab

remarkone:

What bothers me a bit is the lack of uhu_glass_t.bmp in ELKY's installation... this is the file responsible for the external glass.
Guys, if the lack of uhu_glass_t.bmp file is a common issue and if you own any of the other Shockwave's aircrafts, pls try to find something like "glass_t.bmp" and copy it with a new name - "uhu_glass_t.bmp" - to the 219's local(!) texture folders.

remarktwo:

Drop tank.
For a technical reason the keyboard shortcut for dropping tank(s) won't eject the drop tank (the fuel is dumped, only the visuals of the tank are still with us). But you're not left alone in this critical moment of your life: use the drop tank lever instead - back of the righthand side console, tooltip "FUEL DUMP".

Hello ROB!

Thanks for helping so fast! It works!
I own the FW190, WOP and WWII Fighters...so I simply took one of theirs (the Arado 234's, I think) 'glass_t' and renamed it according to your instructions...and voila!


The only thing left seems to be the taxi- and landinglights. They don´t show up when I lit them.


Have a good one!
