bontik Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Nrrd some help please, I downloaded an Aeoro Buoro freeware from Flightsim,General Aviation, flies well , great sound and works just as well in FSX and P3D. Problem is that the windows all have this blue tint that is difficult to see out of. Had same problem with an Aeronca Champ and P51D from Simviation. Anyone out there with any ideas please? Much appreciated Bontik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bontik Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 Thanks for the answer, but Mediafire appears to no longer exist. Thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Wow! That was fast! The file was there day before yesterday. Sorry about that. UPDATE http://qwsim.flight1.net/forums/clear-vc-windshield-texture_topic24.html scroll down just under the pictures and click on the link. It was there. I just tried it but it's for a QW 757. Oh, well, I tried! There are threads from other sites that explain the editing procedures for clearing the tinted windows. Do a Google search for FSX remove window tint.

jandjfrench Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hi Bon, What is the name of the aircraft you're referring to? I suspect that you misspelled it and can't seem to guess the proper name. I, too, dislike the tinted window effect that many aircraft have. I realize it's an attempt to duplicate what the eye sees in the real aircraft but fails to take into account that eyes have the ability to compensate for this, where as the simulation does not. This simply results in an overly dark unrealistic view of the outside world. There is a fix however. By darkening the alpha channel of the glass texture it is often possible to reduce or eliminate the darkening. If I can determine the aircraft that you're referring to I'll take a look at in and see if this can be done. Jim F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jandjfrench Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Hi Bon, Not good news. The tinted windows seem to be part of the model and I don't know how to fix this. Jim F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandjfrench Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Hi again, Glass that's tinted too darkly has always been a problem with me. When it's been part of the model I didn't know how to fix it. Because of this post I looked into it and have found out how to correct this. Here's the link to a thread at FS Developer where the solution can be found: http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/reducing-glass-tint-when-in-model.432090/ Jim F.

HillBillyJim Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Is it one of those deals where the plane was an FS9 model and it's the VC rain effects not coming through? http://vnorthwest.com/lib/signatures/NWA3004.png Great VA!

bontik Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Many thanks for your answers. Heres the zip fsx_aero_boero_ab-115_blue_n2048w.zip And its on page one of Fk\lt Sims General Aviation. Incidentally, for interest sake, I bought Migration tool for downloading directly to P3D, and it works like a charm. Only problem is with some aircraft, which I just chuck out. Thanks chaps Bontik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandjfrench Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hi bontik, The filename you provided is for a new texture for the aircraft, which zippy provided the filename of in post #6 of this thread, not the complete aircraft. In post #9 of this thread I posted a link to a thread in which the solution to correct windows that are tinted too darkly is described. I hope this clears up any confusion. I always prefer knowing how to correct a problem rather than just be given the answer. That way I know how to fix the problem if I run into it again. I've deleted quite of few aircraft because of tinted windows. If you would prefer I'll send you the aircraft without the tint. Just say so and I'll upload it to Box and post the link. Jim F.

bontik Posted November 19, 2014 Author Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hi Jim and Lane, Very interesting following(???) your discussions. Your pics show the problem exactly. However, my geriatric brain can't cope with computer science I'm afraid? There are plenty of aircraft out there, so , if you guys don't mind, I'll just delete the ones with a problem! But many, many thanks for all your trouble.It is so nice to know there are helpful guys out there! Regards Bontik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
