FSX Modified Default Vehicles

Modified default airport service vehicles refine five core ground models for FSX by correcting transparency settings and tidying related model issues, improving visual consistency around ramps and terminals. The updated models target clean conversions to reduce common rendering quirks, including in DirectX 10 preview, while keeping the original vehicle set and behavior intact.

Fixes for five default FSX airport vehicle models that had wrong transparency settings in the model and other issues. By Nils Besemer.

I tried to fix 5 default FSX airport vehicle models, which had wrong transparency settings in the model and other issues. For that I used Arno's great ModelconverterX (development release), Many thanks to Arno!

I only used it for models which gave me no warnings while importing them into ModelconverterX. I guess it could be problematic with models which are containing animations but I haven't tested it with other models.

I think a lot of FSX's issues (also with DX10 mode and also performance-wise) could be solved by replacing *a lot* of FSX's default models and effect files.

Please make backups before you replace the models. They are the modified default models, so they are the property of Microsoft. Use it only if you have FSX, don't sell them or do nasty things with them. I only upload them because MS don't want to fix their stuff. Please contact me, if you have problems with that or if the files are creating other problems, and I will remove the files.

If you use the Russian airport vehicles, don't forget to copy the proper models into the "VEH_air_RU_bagcart1" and "VEH_air_RU_bagcart_FlatNose" folders.

Thanks to ThunderBit for the TextureBagage.jpg, because I had no time to make images!
