FSX aircraft missing comsat antennae

[RatherBFlyin]

I have noticed on some FS9 aircraft that I have converted to use in FSX, that the comsat antenna bulge on top of the fuselage is missing, and you can actually see through the fuselage at that point if you are looking down on the aircraft. It doesn't do it on all aircraft, just some of them. I was wondering if anyone knows of a relatively simple fix to get that corrected. I just need to find a way to make those antennae bulges visible.

Which (specific) aircraft has this problem?

I was just flying a Project Airbus A319 in China Southern colors earlier today and finally got irritated enough with the "hole" in the top of the fuselage to ask about it. lol It's not the only one that it has happened with, just the one I was most recently flying.

Hmm, Project Airbus used to have a topic about this on their forums. But after they kicked the bucket they wiped the forums along with that topic.

Have you tried using the FSX models?

I had the same issue with an A318CJ, I decided to download it when we were discussing the BAW A318CJ, just to see how it handled in and out of LCY, I too got fed up of the hole on top of the fusalage. This was a project airbus aircraft.

Will the FS9 textures fit on the FSX model?

Yes, I believe it's the exact same model but compatible with FSX.

Replacing the model worked, by removing the antenna bulge entirely. However, after looking more closely at pics of the aircraft in question, I can see that it wasn't even supposed to have one. Now I just need to find models for the other non-PA aircraft that have the same problem.

I have the same problem with POSky's GE90 777-200ER. If you look closely at this picture, you'll see:

That's not the same problem. It's FSX and its issues with alpha channels. It'll cover up clouds and autogen, which is why I don't use the heat haze textures with the PA A32X.

Actually, that is the same problem, and how I knew it was the bulge over the comsat antenna on top of the fuselage. When looking down from above, you can see through the aircraft at the ground below, but if looking from the side as that shot is, it will let you see "through" any clouds to the sky/ground beyond them.
