• 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.

hello

I have a transparency problem again.
Don't know what is wrong, for a short time, I did find a solution, but can't remember how I did it.

The problem is, that in 3ds max is looks all good, but in fsx my model isn't transparent.

Attached test file as 3ds max 2011 and 2010 file with texture psd and dds.

It would be nice if anybody could have a look into this file.

thanks comy

As far as I can see, your alpha (in the dds) is all white. It will need to be greyscale and about 50% grey-level

The Opacity map / Opacity value in Max / Gmax has no effect on the exported model. (You have the glas.psd in this slot)

You can use Opacity with a bmp (of your alpha channel moved to RGB) .. but it won't change the opacity of the model.
 
ehh yeah okay, I changed my Alpha channel to a grey scale about 50%, but now my testmodel is invisible.

Don't know the reason, I did it exactly how you described and I checked my Alpha channel again with imagetool.

Thanks

You now need to find an alpha Z-test level, that produces the result you want.
 
Sorry for this late answer, but had to do some other things than 3d design in the last time.

Only want to say it works great. Thanks for your help again.

regards comy
