Hi Jim, Some experimentation on my part showed the issue is the <depth-test type="bool">true</depth-test> tag in the panel definition. Setting it to false fixed the problem in the pc-7 http://cvs.flightgear.org/cgi-bin/viewvc/viewvc.cgi/data/Aircraft/pc7/Models/pc7.xml?r1=1.7&r2=1.8
The c182 does not have this tag, the c310 has it and has not been set to false in CVS. I'm new here and don't know what this tag was ment to do.
