Hi there, I read a post about a similar user's issue with 707 but mine problem is a bit different. (sorry can't post link as I'm a new user but it was titled "Please help-Gauges,No Gear,Nothing Working!" on Dec 11th, 2011, 8:15pm)

I did a fresh install of FSX deluxe, followed by Acceleration

I installed Captain Sim 707 (csx701_1300.exe) purchased days ago and chose the Qantas livery. I would love to post pictures of the issue but I am not allowed to link any nor is the uploader able to accept my jpg images 

basically, externally, you see some shadows of the cockpit glass and under the wings but the rest is transparent.  Internally all you see are the black circles and square, that are the place holders for the gauges, and nothing else but runway.

I have a brand new Alienware M14x running Windows 7.  With FSX installed as C:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\

I did not install any of the service packs manually/separately.  Please help!  

Thanks for helping, the support guy is away till 13 September so I'm kinda stuck - any help will be appreciated!

okay here goes

Glad you got it working. I have had similar type of problem with other aircraft, mostly my "Other devs" aircraft and not on my Captain Sim aircraft.


Only the outer skin is missing when viewing the exterior.


I couldn't see anything at all when in the VC!

I don't really know why it happens. I just assumed the Graphics Card could not cope with the load. I did not want to stop the flight (MEL to HNL) so I continued on and landed (second image).

I used to had this kind of problem with default FA18, other default aircrafts and some of addon with .dds textures. I don't remeber if I reinstalled fsx or I symply turn up "global texture quality" in settings

Like you, I would think it is a VideoRAM problem/fault and not RAM. Mine happened when I was using 8Gig 1333 DDR3 and a Geforce 1Gig 9800 GTX+.

My new system is already built, less the Graphics Card. I will have to wait just a while longer before I can get the GTX670 for it.
My GTX470 is doing better than I expected though.

I need the GTX670 for Far Cry 3 and for GTA V (which I will buy when they are released). At the moment, my GTX470 is fine for Far Cry 2 and GTA IV though.
