It has already been discussed here in the forum that the issue with the opaque cockpit textures of the Fernando Martinez Tornado in FSX can be fixed by applying an alpha channel. Due to the sheer amount of textures (283) this task can be a bit tedious. MAIW has the courtesy to permit the distribution of the modified Tornado texture sets.
Ray Parker has done some remarkable GAF Tornado Repaints which you really should check in case you don't know them. He as well was so friendly to allow the distribution of the modified textures.
You will find all sets in the download section of The Owl's Nest. The installation is described in the Readme.
Note: In a few days I will release the completely reworked version 2.0 of my FSX MAIW Installation Guide. I like to thank the proof readers here in the forum for their valuable feedback and input.

Re: FSX Tornado Texture Replacements
Yeah nice one!
When i had FSX installed i did that painstaking process of adding alpha channels to all the:
F3
GR4
IDS
Tonks and it took AGES, Emphasis on "Ages", now with this auto installer which you have kindly made it will make the process alot more effective and less time consuming and i thank you for that,
Depending on my PC situation i may dust of FSX again, but who knows!

Re: FSX Tornado Texture Replacements
I noticed a texture issue with all of the other jet cockpit glass displaying in FSX as well. Any object in the background including clouds cause the glass to totally disappear. It seems related to the missing FS9 prop textures displaying in clouds in FSX...
Could these A/C pits also be adjusted by the Alfa Channel?

Re: FSX Tornado Texture Replacements
No, Chris, this is an issue that - like the propeller - can only be solved by recompiling a model to FSX
