Oops - I thought I'd got 'em all;) I'll have a look at it. The model loader/renderer does do some funny things at times - I've been re-working the TSR-2 and hit a problem on the front canopy inner lining where a couple of sections seemed to be clipped out of it in fgfs. I remember you showing me some screen shots of a similar problem you had with the tip of the p-51d control-stick. Anyway, I could see that the missing sections were the diagonal halves of the original rectangle so I thought I'd manually triagulate the effected polys but switch the orientation of the diagonal. It made no difference at all, which was strange - the new triangles couldn't be re-triangulated to produce the missing sections and it wasn't a case of particular triangles being missed because the new triangles ran across the missing area:/ Then I went back to the original rectangular polys and tried sub-dividing them. This actually changed the shape of the missing sections but didn't fix it:\ Fortunately, re-sizing it a little did:) Lot of messing about though.
