Hi all,
I have the latest version of this mod for 4.12.2, version 3.2, cleanly installed (i.e. removed previous versions of the Lanc entirely)...
Now I have this infuriating problem which I just cannot resolve. I have absoulutely no idea what's going on... can anyone shed any light on the matter? Curiously, the B-24J cockpit mod, supposedly for 4.12.2 also, causes exactly the same problem, which is the flight loads okay, but the upside down black horizon thingy occurs and this big beauty is unflyable...

All the references to 'blank' (with the exception of the B-24J about which I am clueless) are well and truly in place and correct. I've tried disabling various mods, moving the Lanc to the very top of the #SAS folder, etc. etc. to no avail...
Any pointers would be much appreciated!
Michael.
