cant get the 3d cockpit to show up

im building a 3d cockpit for the short solent and in xplane instead of showing up normally it insists on giving me a mandatory view straight up at the sky.

im using the ac3d version and xplane plug in that i downloaded 3 days ago.

im using 9.xx, 9.20 or 9.23 it was.

since my trident 3d pit is working i renamed the solent pit the name of the trident object file, then put the panel and cockpit INN textures named as named for the trident to see if it would show up correctly in the trident, and it does the same thing: manditory view up at the sky.

but as i recall at the beginning of 9xx i found that i was not able to have the ms-703 petrel panel show up in the 3d cockpit without it doing the same thing, mandatory looking up at the sky. so i had to settle for the petrel without the panel showing up in the 3d cockpit.

so i wonder it has something to do with having the panel png in the cockpit folder functional. yet the trident 3d pit works fine despite that it uses the panel png in the cockpit folder.

does it have anything to do with whether the cockpit is saved as a smooth or hard edges? which should it be, i seem to remember we were supposed to do smooth or hard.
