These m3d files provide additional compatibility with AnKor's Shaders for the various stand alone aircraft I've published in the past.
Installation simply involves making a back-up copy, and then replacing the originals.
Adjustments have been made to the material properties by hex editing the m3d file as detailed in Section 8 of the Developer ReadMe file included in the shader packages.
Specifically the changes represented here are:
Change drawing type for glass surfaces to make them reflective. (00 00 FF 00)
Change the diffuse color and transparency of glass surfaces. (99 99 99 12)
Increase the glass glossiness intensity to max. (00 00 7E 43)
Increase the paint glossiness intensity slightly. (00 00 80 42)
These may seem too transparent for some people's taste, but I've been researching how the aircraft transparencies in WW2 looked and these settings are a close approximation of what can be seen both in pictures, and on the restored aircraft I've had access to over the years.
If you want to change them to something else you would need to hex edit to add a tint by changing the 99 99 99 (60% Grey Color in Blue Green Red order) values and the transparency factor to something greater than 12.
