Tornado Cockpit Transparency?
Tornado Cockpit Transparency?
Hi All,
I hope someone can help or at least clarify whether the cockpit glass of the Tornados should be transparent or not?
I have almost all packages installed into FSX and all aircraft have a transparent looking cockpit except the Tornado's which just appear 'greyed out'?
Is this the same for everyone else or is it just me? Can it be fixed or is it just the way the tornado models are? Or is it possibly an FSX thing?
I have a screenshot but im having difficulty attaching it.
Cheers,
Chris

I know one of the Tornado packages was installed via WOAI (Italian Tornado's package) but i have another which was manually installed (Not sure which one).
Is a model update or any update which would correct the problem very likely?
Im sure this would be needed as FSX becomes more popular (Assuming this is ofcourse a FSX specific bug after all) as with this problem they do not look anywhere near as realistic as the other aircraft in MAIW packages.

I replaced the Alpha-Channel with dark grey in the canopy area and it works!
It's a tip from P. Taylor, ACES ?

I've installed it with the program dxtbmp. You can download from http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk/pr ... dxtbmp.htm
You have to open the texture and toimport the alpha-channel-file as alpha-channel. Then save the file.

Thanks Horst!
As an aside, I was working on files for HT's F-16s, but I think the problem may have been resolved by SP2, can someone else verify this? I'm going to have a look at other models and see if there are any other issues with the transparencies.
