Help, my plane is turning transparent!

<< < (2/3) > >>

EHM-1821 Javier:
hmm...i only noticed it when i downloaded the B2707 SST as the wings were totally transclucent

EHM-1001 Robert:
It happens when there is not night-texture for a particular area of the plane. That is the easier problem. On older 3D models, the Alpha cahnnel means not reflectivity, but transparancity. This way, if you have a night texture with alpha channel, it may look transparent...

If you have a night texture missing, here is the easy solution:

Night texture filenames are usually the same as the day ones, only the extension is different. Usually day textures filename end with "_t.bmp" or "_T.bmp", while the night textures end with "_l.bmp" or "_L.bmp". If you have a night texture missing, then simply paint a 256x256 sized black BMP image, and save to the desired name + the "_L.bmp" extension.

Please report here, if you have the same problem at ANY of the EHM fleet. Thank you, although all the textures were tested last year, so... ;)

EHM-1617 Iain:
I get this at night on the PMDG 737 repaint.

EHM-1883 Matt:
I have problems with the wings on the Dornier, but I just pretend it's made out of glass!

EHM-1612 Paolo:
Sometimes when I am connected on IVAO my tail wing usually turn of 90 degrees but it does not influence the navigation....It is really weird but I imagine that it must bereallydangerous in real life...:%
