Tyrion,

Thanks a million for the advice... So, I did what you said to do for the VMFAT-101 (gray) texture and that works like a charm. I then removed the F-18_Main07_T.dds. like you suggested, and now the canopy frame is tan instead of black as it should be. I think I am gonna try and copy the cfg. file and F-18_Main07 from one of my other delta's that has the black canopy frame. Does that sound like it would make sense, or am I  :D ? Thanks again though for the help
