Hello
This is the model I'm making these days.
But I don't like the canopy.
How can I make a canopy that is shiny and fluttering like a wave?
Do I have to make the 3d model from scratch?
Or is there a special material input value?
Thank you.

Re: canopy?
I'm assuming this is FS9 Mins. Have you added a reflective (Specular) Material in Gmax and are reflections switched on in the sim?
These are the settings I'm using for the Gazelle:

The alpha channel also controls how transparent and glossy the glass is.
The settings for FSX and P3D are much more complicated, but I can let you have those if you need them.

Re: canopy?
Dear John.
How are you doing?
Thank you for your quick and kind reply.
That's right. It's FS9.
I use FSDS. Modifying to various input values.
Always be healthy and take care.
Although it's late, Happy New Year.

Re: canopy?
Hello mins,
although your canopy glass looks great here are the values I have used for my ORAO model.
Don't forget that in your paintkit you have to make square usually black with alpha chanell as well to get that glossy look.
I would really really like to see this one published as it is one of airplanes I wanted to make long ago . I believe many of us are waiting to see it in our simulators.
cheers
