• 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.

So I was able to determine that in 2024 the glass material transparency cant be controlled, but "tint" can be......which will drive transparency (in a way).

My question is, how do you control transparency for MSFS2020? this is a non-textured material. I try setting color transparency to very low values, and still it comes out highly reflective but pretty opaque.

Is there another setting I should be looking at?

Thanks
 
disregard, found out that the alpha level (on MCX) has to be below 4...otherwise it comes out really opaque. Also discovered that 2020 doesnt like glass material updates with the SDK open and sim running.....have to shut down and compile-reload.

Came out good.
