Where to start on some basic cockpit texture alterations, canopy glass transparency etc.

[MoleUK]

I've been using the universal shader mod for clear glass canopies for some time, as it helps get past some lighting bugs in a few cockpits and eliminate some very old baked in reflections that look awful. But obviously since the shaders folder fell under the IC it's no longer possible to use this mod on MP servers that haven't disabled IC.

Assuming I wanted to start individually tweaking several cockpits to have transparent glass without breaking IC, is there a simple guide for someone with no experience to tweak it? Already tried messing around in gimp with the huey cockpit files to little effect.

Beyond that I'd also like to alter the Huey overhead glass canopy to be clear rather than green, and attempt to get a grease mark on the Huey's glass as seen here with the Gazelle: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3331373/

Any help or even pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if this will be helpful but I had idea to do exactly that and have clear canopies.

I though about editing default liveries canopy file and put it in "saved games/dcs/liveries/cockpit_module name" like cockpit mod's for some planes, this way it will not trigger IC check.
