Fix for C46 prop textures in FSX:SE DX10

[HighBypass 2,339]

Could some kind soul have a look at the possibility of fixing the spin-prop textures for Libardo Guzman's fine C46 Commando please? Can they be fixed - it's the known issue of having the clouds in front of the propeller arc? I've tried to mess with the alpha channel and re-apply it but to no avail. The textures look great when not looking at clouds through them. In fact you can see if the props are synchronised or not

You can use this tutorial and alter the value to lower than 30 if you want the props to be completely transparent:

Thanks, Alan.   I've had a look at the tutorial. I don't have dark discs, in fact the prop texture looks great... until clouds aren't obscured by the texture..

Here's a shot of the unedited discs in FSX:SE with DX10 fixer.

So, basically the clouds in prop effect is a feature of FSX then? Or is it fixed by re-coding the aircraft model or some such?

No, i don't have dark props with it either, but if you don't like that disappearing effect, then it is a partial solution to that, though not a brilliant one. That props disappearing against clouds and some other FSX objects is a result of an FS2004 aeroplane being ported into FSX, without it being a native model for FSX with suitable texturing, so it's a problem which isn't really possible to solve without the model itself to recompile. That's why I suggested that tutorial because if you don't like that effect it has against clouds, you can at least choose to make the props transparent. Not a fix of course, but it is something some people may prefer.

No worries, Alan. Thanks. Having had confirmation that it is an FS2004 port-over issue makes the cloud-in-prop easier to live with.  EDIT: Besides if the props are made transparent I won't be able to see if they're synchronised; she's no A2A Connie with a proper gauge, just two rpm gauges
