Looking for non-tinted windows for the Carenado 182Q. I have successfully repainted exterior and modified the heck out of the panel to match my real plane. Very cool and fun. But, for the life of me I can not figure out how to get rid of the tinted windows in the 182Q. I found the plexi file, put con't figure out what to do with it to get it non-tinted. ANY assistance would be appreciated.

This post was from the Carenado Forum. It may remove the glass all together however, so back up so you can revert if you don't like the result. I made the last section in bold for the option not to make the texture totally clear. Best, Jeff Here ya go: Well, I already found a way of getting it done. Here is how to do it for the Carenado C182RG, however instructions can be used for other aircraft as well, but the file you have to edit will be named differently obviously! NOTE: you may only edit these kind of files for your personal use! You may NOT, never ever, distribute these kind of (edited) files!!! Also backup files before editing and use these instructions at your own risk...1. Download and install DXTBmp.2. Run it and in the menu choose Prefs > Select Editor (I chose Photoshop). 3. Open the file called Plexi VC182 carenado.bmp and go to Alpha > Send Alpha to Editor.4. A file called trans.bmp will be opened in your editor. Fill the ENTIRE picture with black (RGB 0 0 0) and save the file (just as it is, so simply use Ctrl-S: no need for special settings).5. Go back to DXTBmp and go to Aplha > Refresh Alpha (you will see the Alpha Channel at the top right of the DXTBmp-window become completely black).6. Save the file as Extended Bitmap and choose DXT3 in the dropdown menu.That's it! 100% transparent windows! You can also use this method to tone down the effect of the windows, so instead of making the entire alpha channel black, you could select the grey parts (which form the transparency) and make them a bit (or a lot) darker to make the texture a bit (or a lot) more transparent.
