787 VC glass turns black at night

I bought this $20.00 AFS-design 787 because I wanted to see if I could merge the VC to a TDS 787. Well, forget that idea, the exterior and VC are one, combined model. It's listed as a FSX model, however it only fully works in DX9 and has horrible mip-mapping blurries as is. So I thought I'd have a little fun with it anyways and see if I could make it work in DX10.

 

I selected DX10 and this is what I got...

In DX10, the VC looks like this...

So I ran ALL the .bmp textures through DXTbmp (Flip image and alpha) and converted them to DXT5 .dds. The textures look sharp now without mip-mapping and this is what I got...

The DAY VC now looks like this...

and this...

However at NIGHT the glass in the VC in DX10 is black...

Anybody know how I can fix the black glass problem for DX10?

Hi Mr zippy

 

Yes I am. I tried messing around with the Legacy settings but nothing helped. Which setting specifically is supposed to fix this?

Check that your glass bmp's alpha channel RGB setting is 0,0,0.

I was thinking of that also. I found the $w01.dds, w04.dds, x1.dds, x2.dds are glass textures but changing the Alpha to clear didn't help.

Guess will just have to use DX9 or only fly it in the daytime. God I wish Qualitywings would finish their 787 already.
