Skinning canopy glass

[Mike Busutil]

Is it possible to edit the canopy glass of DCS aircraft to have the same color as the aircraft?

 

Also if this is possible can we still see out of the edited canopy while in the cockpit?

 

Thanks for any info.

It should be possible, both.

 

You need to either remove the alpha layer of the texture or the transparency texture, then should work.

 

Cockpit model is not the same as the external model, so it shouldn't be affected by it.

Thanks.

 

Anyone know where can I find the external canopy layers for the L-39?

 

I can find the cockpit layers in:

 

"C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\L-39C\Textures\L-39C-CPT-TEXTURES.zip"

 

But I have had no luck finding the external canopy layers.

Try here >>CoreMods\aircraft\L-39\Textures

Thank you sir.

Looking for a little more help on how I can accomplish this, I tried removing the alpha layer for the canopy which was labeled "L39C_GLASS SPEC.dds" but that just gave me a see through checkerboard texture.

 

 

I'm not sure where the transparency layer is. My goal is to have the canopy colored the same color as the aircraft skin color and not able to see through it.

 

Thanks for any help with this.

The transparency layer is on the DIFF file

Make the alpha channel in the diffuse texture for the glass pure white. That will make the glass opaque.
