Tinted windshields in external model??

[Ala12Rv-watermanpc]

Hi guys, just wanted to know if you are getting tinted windshield right now in the external model both in 1.5 and 2.0...after downloading the mod for the internal cockpit view I realized that at least my external model in both 1.5 and 2.0 lacks tinted glass and I would say they were tinted before :huh:...

 

This is how it looks for me now:

 

 

 

 

Thanks!

Hi watermanpc!

 

I have tried to give it a yellow tint, but I can't get it to work. The texture for the external cockpit glass is a-10c-canopy-glass.tga.dds, located in the A-10.zip in Bazar/World/Textures.

 

The original texture looks like this (without the Alpha-channel):

 

So I think ED started out trying to make the cockpit glass tinted in the front. I do however think the sim only reads the Alpha channel, making the cockpit texture only differ in opacity, with no color tones. If you make the Alpha channel completely white, the canopy will look like a mirror, with no yellow. If you make the alpha channel darker it will be more transparent and not look like the sunglass-shade it has been since the introduction of 1.5. But I can not find a way to make it with a yellow tint.

 

This is how far I got until I felt that I have no ideas on how to proceed.

Many thanks for your detailed reply mate!!:thumbup:

 

Then, its not present right now in the sim...well, I doubt I can go any further than you so I guess we will have to wait to someone with higher knowledge or ED to get this done...
