Hi Alan, Most aircraft need to be "ported" for Rembrandt. The amount of porting necesary is in most cases proportional with the complexity of the eyecandy used before by said aircraft. For some is as simple as assigning an effect for transparent surfaces, for others it might require more involved work (might even require remodelling of some parts). That said, there are quite a few aircraft that have been "ported". By the symptoms you describe it's most likely the f22 the Mirage and the Draken weren't ported yet. However I'm concerned with the Concorde errors, since I've adapted that one to Rembrandt, and it uses the same effects/shaders as the C172p.
