FSX F-106 payware add on aircraft

Hi everyone,

I purchased the Convair F-106 and it doesn't seem to want to work in FlyInside. It starts in a black screen with sound working.

Does anyone know if it's possible if adjust the settings to get this to work or should I get a refund?

Thanks

Who made the 106 mate ? Does it work OK without Flyinside ? What are your PC specs ?

I'm also interested in this problem. I have a number of aircraft from different manufacturers that do this . All have virtual cockpits and work perfectly in normal FSX. When started in FlyInside, they load, then there is a brief burst of sound then just a black screen. is there any adjustment of settings that can cure this?

The F-106 on Steam is a Virtavia product. As is the F-105 Thunderchief on Steam that also has the same problem.
Others I've found to have the same issue; the Aerospool WT9 is from Lionheart and 2 of the Hawker Heroes pack from First Class.

I've stumbled across a solution to this one elsewhere in the forum, but for ease of reference, I thought it worth including here.

There is a line in the panel.cfg for this aircraft "render_3d_window=1".
Change this to "render_3d_window=0" and the F106 will work (the F105 & WT9 too). The cockpit scale is a little off (either that or the F106 has the largest, most spacious fighter cockpit ever) but it works.

The same trick works on the Republic F105 & the Aerospool WT9 also, but not on the Hawker Heroes.
