Thanks glad you like it so far. The rudder pedals are straight exports out of blender. They have no textures at all; they're just blank objects at the moment.
Im using the latest drivers(275.33) from Nvidia running a 7900GS, with 9.70. I can get xplane to run, using old preferences I saved while using my slower GPU. This also came up while using the other GPU.
I'm having problems getting X-Plane to load up correctly after deleting preferences. Has anyone else seen this, or know whats going on here? I'm using 9.70 BTW
