I have all but completed an elaborate repaint of the Grumman Duck but the gray window bugs the bejeezus out of me. See post at:http://ftp.avsim.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboa...orum=DCForumID9Thanks!Heather

Heather I posted a reply to this earlier but it's disappeared. So in a nutshell ... you can't lay an alpha texture on your Duck unless that facility is enabled in the model file, and I don't believe it is. Any transparent areas would need to be remapped to new bitmap areas by the original author. So you need to find Tom Schaad! Meanwhile, you can create the illusion of transparency, perhaps; see, for example, Barry Blaisdell's latest DHC-8 ...Mark "Dark Moment" BeaumontP.S. Dang! Just spotted that my reply ended up in another forum. You and your cross referencing! Stop that! :( :( :( http://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitak.htmlhttp://www.swiremariners.com/cxkaitakv3.jpg

I'll be having a look at that DHC-8, thanks.Absolutely no luck so far in locating Tom Schaad. I have posted a search thread for him in three different places. It's like he's dropped off the face of the earth. I even sent an email to the author of the panel hoping that he might know his whereabouts. Never received a reply from him either. :(I'll keep trying Cheers!Heather

Got it covered. It's in your mailbox! :)Don
