I did a quick check on something this morning on my PC-12 which has "washed out" chrome. if you use a black background with the same alpha you had before you will get a decent chrome. I haven't played with polished aluminum like on the 140 yet but I'll let you know what I find.Brian

I got it working.....By using a RGB 100,100,100 dark gray as a base color and a similar grey for the alpha I get this....Brianhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/30658.jpg

Brian, Have you had any luck making the windows have reflections in cof? I have a had a bit of problems with your 140 in 2004, its working but it has a warning when loaded and sometimes will crash the sim. Just curious how its working for you. I really like this one but in 2k4 here the windows look totally transparent.Hornit

the plane loads fine for me. I did "cheat" a bit on the windows on this test version by removing the textures from the glass and then giving the glass some dynamic shine like the rest of my FSDS 2 models.Drop me an e-mail and I'll send you the Beta updateBrian

this is just a test i made after reading this thread.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/30753.jpgjust made a 256x blue-ish colored texture, and gave it a nearly all black alpha.then i turned the opacity down to 51. gave it just a splash of DS.It really shows off any jaggies in the windows, but easy fix. I like the effect, but my textures need tweaking. ;-)ps. _T the texture namejoe
