May 12, 20179 yr Bought this package some time ago. I sent a request to the developer very quickly and asked that they remove the smoky glass attempt for light reflection as it was very difficult to see the gauges. They acknowledged my request (but didn't say they would do anything about it). When the regional update package came out I hoped that my issue had been addressed. It had not. So I have a great flight model and respectable external aircraft but the VC sucks. I am wondering if anybody else has this plane and/or knows how to remove the smoky glass on the gauges in the VC? Interestingly the fixed 2D view cockpit is clear as a bell but I hate the fixed 2D cockpit? Bryan Wallis aka "fltsimguy" Maple Bay, British Columbia Near CAM3
May 12, 20179 yr I have the VirtualCol Jetstream 31 and Dornier 328 Jet for FS9 and have a similar issue with the interior cockpit and cabin windows reflections. The reflections are coded into the .mdl file and can't be edited, they are WAY too high and need removing altogether. I haven't managed to improve them much by editing the glass textures either. They do ruin a very good value product for me and I don't use them any more because of it. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

I thought I had made some headway with the developers on removing them but to no avail. There is totally a difference between these frosted over gauges and others who have made true reflective glass.

May 12, 20179 yr Same problem here, I too contacted them and they replied quickly, promised to fix them and did nothing. I contacted them over and over for the last 9 months and they kept replying with the same reply and nothing has been fixed. I WILL NEVER BUY THERE PRODUCTS AGAIN....... Nick Sciortino

May 13, 20179 yr Author FYI I wrote to Virtualcol FS this afternoon and got this response. Dear Customer, We apologize the inconvenient this situation generated to you. Is the issue with reflection in VIRTUAL COCKPIT gauges? Or windows? Because I have only request for SHORTS SERIES PACK, not for SAAB series or other model. If your claim is about SHORTS, this model will have an update in a few weeks including this part. If you have same problem with other model, please advise to verify and our team will include this solution in the next updates to release. Kind regards, GERMAN REINA A. Technical Support To which I responded. Sorry to be clear, it's the reflective (frosted) glass on the SHORTS gauges. Not the cockpit windows. There are apparently other models (different planes) that have the similar effect, planes which I don't have in my hanger. Attached is a screenshot (the same one I attached above) with the frosted over gauges. It's very hard to read the gauges in the virtual cockpit. Should you folks fix this issue it will help with a lot of customers. Bryan I can only hope they actually act on this request. Bryan Wallis aka "fltsimguy" Maple Bay, British Columbia Near CAM3
