Noticed the transponder on the blackbox bn-2 is having some texture issues. anyone else run across this? also does anyone know if blackbox is active in these forums at all like some developers are?
Yes they are indeed. I haven’t noticed that myself. Which repaint were you flying?
great, love to see positive interactions with devs and customers 
lets see, i’m flying the TransAnguilla livery: BN2 Islander TransAnguilla » Microsoft Flight Simulator

That’s a 3rd party one, (not a Blackbox one) I think the dev for that repaint hasn’t followed their instructions re repaints. Can’t you try one of the repaints that’s came with the model.
hmm, it is a fairly recent file (sept 13) so assumed it should work ok. Also didn’t know liveries could affect the transponder numbers. ill try with a non-3rd party skin
They wouldn’t affect the numbers if they’d followed the instructions. I’ve just checked mine and the default repaints are all ok, and a couple of the addon ones I’d downloaded are also working correctly.
My memory is terrible, but this issue occurred ages ago. I think you just have to delete one of the texture files from the addon folder, but I can’t remember which one. I won’t be able to check tonight now, but I’ll take a look in the morning if no one else has popped up with the answer.

The BN-2 was updated pretty recently, and I remember liveries having to be updated. I forget when the exact date was but the newer the livery the better to avoid that problem.

1.35 is the latest version IIRC.
Open the Texture folder for any of the default liveries and copy BBS_BN2-DIALS.PNG.DDS from there into your TransAnguila livery’s Texture folder.
have you added in some MOD Textures perchance ??
I know these are responsible for some mismatched areas in the past
NO !
there should be no dials in the livery folders they are all referenced from \texture
Unfortunately a small number of the BN-2 liveries on flightsim.to do still have dials textures.
well they simply shouldn’t 
this is one of the main reasons I am personally against modding commercial software…
The Dev is Still expected to give support when others break it
My advise ?
Delete them

you don’t think folks should make additional liveries? that seems like a drab world!

Or educate users on what they did wrong so they can do it better. You seem pretty good at this, so fair play to you @NightMercury358 !

Or provide a paint kit so they can’t break it

Now dont misquote me thats not what I said
However I dont think people should just blast into repaints without a full knowledge of the product and its structure …
we supply a paint kit that contains the ONLY Textures that need to be changed
