unclegreg Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Greetings, I've just downloaded and installed g8n1.zip from the library into FSX Deluxe. It's the Nakajima G8N bomber for FS 2002-2004. After tweaking the Aircraft.cfg I got it to show up in the sim. After replacing the prop_blurr.bmp I got the props semi transparent. Now, how do I get the glass transparent? I don't even see a bitmap for glass in the texture file. Any help will be appreciated. Thanx in advance. unclegreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flattermann Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Perhaps this could help (it is an old link!) http://www.flight1software.com/fsxtools/f1_fsx_vcrainfix.exe happy landings!

unclegreg Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 The link is still good, but it wasn't the solution. Thank you for your response. The odd thing is I can see the spinning props through the windows in spot view otherwise the glass is black. unclegreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okbob Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 There are lots of prop and window fixes for many FS9 aircraft posted in the FSX library. Search there. I believe it has something to do with the alpha channel, and so there might be instructions on how to develop your own. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f16jockey_2 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I believe it has something to do with the alpha channel, and so there might be instructions on how to develop your own. Correct, but the first step is to IDENTIFY the texture whose alpha channel has to be changed. The OP is unable to find it. @unclegreg: download link?

jandjfrench Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hey uncle, I checked and the panel from another aircraft is needed. This is specified in the Panel.cfg and it seems likely that that file contains the needed textures. Jim F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclegreg Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Jim, Based on the panel cfg I can't find the panel. This addon is originally from CFS2 so I downloaded that and put the panel in minus the gauges. It's a nice panel (no VC) but it doesn't solve the black glass problem. I converted the texture bitmaps from 16 bit (565) to DXT1 and now in spot view I can see through them against the sky and autogen but not against ground textures. Also the cockpit and crew textures are black looking into the cockpit from spot view. Wlm, Here's the link: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=62145186 I found the CFS2 original over at SOH as G8N1_RENZAN.zip okbob, Thank you. I found a lot of fixes for specific airplanes but no general fix. Maybe I can't find it? Thanx to everyone for helping out. I really appreciate it. unclegreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Links like that don't work. Remember to give filenames. And mention the site where the file is located. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclegreg Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 The file is g8n1.zip right here at Flightsim. unclegreg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
