• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FS2004 Control Tower Windows Tranny Problem

Hi friends,

I've been attempting to add transparent windows to my FSDS 3.5 control tower however I have run into problems.

The tower has both outer and inner texture polys and I've created a radar panel for extra effect however when looking through the tower windows from the outside, nothing inside the tower can be seen. All inturnals are invissable including the inturnal inner polly's. I know the inner textures are set correctly.

The next photo shows what I am attempting to acheive however I am unable to fix the problem with two of the windows, dispite cloning efforts and even remaking the windows again.

As you can see, the panels are now showing inside the tower correctly but those two windows have me beat.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated, I can forward FSDS and texture file for inspection if that helps to identify the issue.

Mark.

No need to reply, I have sorted it out now.

It was the draw order number in FSDS that was incorrect. The inside needed to be made first and the outside widows constructed and applied last. Models was saved in three parts, inner panel and main building - inner windows - outer windows.

This isn't a reply, but rather, a thanks for the chuckle of the day.... the title made me choke......

Windows Tranny Problem? .... <cough>

considering that whenever I've seen "tranny" it's in relation to "transvestite" ...
