• 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.

My rearview mirror is not reflective

Hello,
I'm modeling an ultralight Platzer Kiebitz biplane (https://oldpat.e-monsite.com/). The cockpit is equipped with a rearview mirror, and I can't get the desired mirror effect (see the image below). I'm modeling it in Blender, with the MSFS add-on.
What MSFS material should I use?
With what settings? (metal, etc.)
I've tried glass, fake terrain, and standard materials with reflections, but to no avail. My rearview mirror appears gray or black in MSFS.
Thank you in advance for your help.

The best I've found is the window material, but it's not very realistic; for example, you can't see the back of the plane!
Does anyone have a solution?
 
An other solution, is to create an image which represent the rear of the aircraft and use it as MSFS Standard to illustrate the view.
It's a static solution but its is simple and works.

To create a true mirror, perhaps it will be possible to see how P3D render it because on the last version (5+) it was possible.
