Yeah i just got that new patch and well I cant see out of my windsheilds when I fly and modles of te F4u's or the RV, so far those are the only types of planes I have found with this problem. But the windshield looks like a sheet of metal which ask you probly would guess i cant see through, why is that?

Both of these planes have been out for a while and I'd assume if others had this problem it would have been posted and fixed by now.
I think it has more to do with your computer and settings because of that.
I'd try a complete reinstall of the game and see if that fixes it. It could also be video card or video driver related I suppose. Which do you have and use?

"But the windshield looks like a sheet of metal"

The RV8 has a noticeably more detailed windscreen glass texture than the older planes; perhaps it isn't loading, or you have run out of texture memory. Does the problem resolve itself if you sit and wait for a minute or so?

RV8 windshield is very tinted. Is natural to look much darker looking out, but by "sheet of metal" would I be correct in assuming you can not see out of it, or it is just dark and hard to see through?

My guess is that Aces High, or the graphics card, isn't loading the windscreen texture properly, or can't deal with the transparency information, or something along those lines, and is displaying the windscreen as a solid polygon. The older aircraft models have untextured windscreens that look like empty holes, whereas the RV8's windsreen has reflections, and it reacts to the sunlight (it looks a bit like the windscreen from Falcon 4.0).

Perhaps Hitech are modelling the windscreens to a different standard than before, which would impact the RV8, the new Corsairs, and subsequent models. Presumably the gentleman doesn't have a problem with the C-model Corsair, which is unchanged from before.
