• 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.

Hi There. Now I am coming with a new question and I hope that I someone can help me what I am doing wrong.

Well I have a small tower with glass material and a emissive spehere inside.
What I want is to get it a little dimmed with the alpha channel

OK First Pic Base Color Alpha 0 is the first try Setting Alpha to 0
Gives as expected full transparens as seen in the result Alpha 0

Then I want to dim the glass a little and added .01 to the Alpha Channel
And the windows glass goes totally Opacque.
This happens just when I write Alpha 0.01 (At 0.009 the glass is still 100% transparent)

What am I missing? I am rather sure that I have earlier been able to dim the glass But now my brain don't
respond at all.

What I want is to dim the blue sphere a little - not to much but just a little.
All tips is appreciated. Base Color Alpha 0.jpgresult Alpha 0.jpgBase Color Alpha 0,01.jpgresult Alpha 0,01.jpg

Hi Again. After a while I found out that something must have happened with the material.
I create a new material with same properties and assiged it to another mesh that I placed on the airport.
And it works perfect as it should.
So I think that the solution for materials that is not acting as expected is to delete this material and create a new.

I saw in the bottom keyword (Custom Properties) in the material tab that my new created material have around 12 properties.
But the one that is failed above - It have much more custom properties. Maybe up to 50.
