Hello,

LGN1 ask me to have la ook at the flickering problem.

The Hood.dat has 3 materials included, in line with the original KGV.dat that was cloned. All 3D models in the Hood.dat, however, use only one of these 3 materials. Most are correctly linked to the first ("normal") material but few are linked to the "2-sided". Those ones show the flickering.

So, the solution: open the Hood.dat with S3Ditor and removed all material linkages of all 3D items other than the one that refers to the first material node / texture ("normal"). The two materials (complete, 2-sided) following the first one (normal) can be deleted.

Also the materials referring to the Walrus seaplane can be deleted; Hood carried no seaplane.

Cheers
