greenish cockpit glass

Many aircrafts seem to have a greenish cockpit glass. (P-51B, P-51D)
There was a post on how to eliminate this effect by changing the specular effects.
I am trying to find it.

posts #51, and #58 describes how to recognize the section (diffuse color) of the m3d file that you would need to edit.

The first three pairs of that section are the color, and the last pair defines the level of transparency.

The trick is discovering the correct row/rows (there can be more than one entry) for the glass you want to edit. The colors are in B G R order, so for green glass you're looking for the second pair to have a higher value that the first and third, with a low value in the fourth pair to make it clear glass.

The type of drawing that precedes it is typically 00 00 FF 00, but that can apply to other situations as well so its not a sure thing that you've found the glass just because of that.

It's not always easy to figure out. For example, the new SJE_Typhoon_mkib_198q_44 has 75 7F 5F 35 (opaque blue green) starting at address 97C, and I changed it to 99 99 99 16.
