Hey guys!

 

The PMDG 777 is a fantastic plane to fly! A whole load of great work definitely shows in the systems quality and graphics!

 

I have one problem with the paintkit though. The alpha channel that comes with the paintkit PSDs for the windows on the fuselage of the 777 does not show the black cutouts for where the windows are. So when the paint is exported into flight sim, the windows are covered in the paint and are not transparent to see inside the cabin. 

 

I am certainly not an expert when it comes to working with Photoshop, but I do know a lot. So I am unsure as to why the alpha channels for the windows are not already prepared.

 

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

I've run into the same thing.  Mine appear all white.

I have been able to use the alpha channels from other paints to complete my own properly.

 

If you do not know how to do that and would like some help I am happy to do that for you - just send me a private message with your email address and I will reply with instructions.

I did the same, created my own new alpha layers and saved them on separate PSD files. Was a little tricky in places but it worked!
