Black panels in cockpit

Hi everyone

I've been trawling these forums and Googled for the issue but had no luck.

The background panel in the cockpit always shows as black, as if the background texture is missing. I've tried all three rendering options (Default, Rembrandt and ALS) and the same effect occurs. Below is how my Cessna 172p cockpit looks vs the sample screenshot of what it's meant to look like:

Sample: Image

Mine: Image

I've tried all the lighting conditions and various rendering options, but I have had no luck fixing this issue. Has anyone else resolved something like this?

I'm running Linux Mint 19.3 on a custom laptop with an Nvidia GTX 1070 graphics card, v440.82 driver. It's an Intel I7 processor. Running v 2018.1.1.

Many thanks

Zep

That is not a bug but a feature. Change the livery under "Cessna C172P/Select Livery" in the menu.
