Yes, its a bug.

 

Also, if you move a bit the camera looking at the canopy glass you will see how its bugged and changes the opacity abruptly...hope they solve this soon

If we are with graphical problems, there is also:

 

- Cockpit HUD too dark and not double-sided (we should see the glass back faces, specially the edges), at least, the HUD glass need some love...

- External nav light being bugged due to Z-buffer competition with (i guess) the light glass on the 3D model depending the view angle...

I think this is a bug related to how DCS draw transparent objects... so to say, like almost all 3D realtime software, with a Z-order list created according object distance to camera. If two objects have the same barycenter (same world position, relative to software), the distance to the camera is the same, so the engine can't deduct what object to draw before, which one would be occluded by the other... So, i think this opacity change is due to:

1 - The original canopy texture alpha channel make it too opaque (this amplify the bug)

2 - There is some competition in Z-order, which create this kind of "flip" between two objects, producing opacity change.

 

Transparent objects in 3D realtime is a science... and always been the black beast of 3D devs / artists...

For HUD thing I saw a Mod in User Mod Section works really well

I hav made my own mod for that... reworked the HUD texture... but still a workaround, the edges back-faces are missing... already spoken about this double-side problem, but, as pretty all i said, it like pisser dans un violon.

Cool, What's the difference between using your GME and JSGME?

[LevelPulse]

It's quite hard to see but looking through the glass and back at the blue sky, they look the same colour.

 

Meanwhile you can obviously see there is a chance in colour.:

Okay so I've made some extra Tweaks for V2 Based on the Real life images and While I could not 100% replicate the color and the desired plan I had I think I've come close enough and gonna call it the end for this Issue

 

File Will be attached to the post for Download

 

How External Canopy glass looks At the moment:

 

How It looked like with the Initial v1 fix:

 

How it looks like with the v2 fix:

 

How it looks like with the v3 fix:

 

Now granted it Could look more clearer but I think this is good enough compared what we have right now
