Rob Richardson's DH.125 Jet Dragon - released

Hi there!

At very first I want to say a bit "Thank you!" to Robert and all the additional repainters for that wonderful old British plane! : ) But I'd like to ask how to make the cockpit glass textures more glass-appealing? It's to me like there's no glass in the frames, I mean you can see it but just very little, way to clear as I like it. I don't know if this is appearing only to me, but I would be glad and thankful, if anyone could help me, how to change the required texture, to make it more "glassy" and reflective.

Best regards!

P.S. By the way on the search of some shot of the HS./DH.125 I also found a old cutaway drawing which I want to share. You can find it on the following url:

Do anyone's engine RPM indicators work?


Thanks for the U.S. paints, Peter!



Panel.cfg entry for my weather radar. Disable the original gauge00= line in [VCockpit01] in the panel.cfg by prefixing it with "//" (without quotation marks) and add the lines below after it:

//gauge00=fa-18!MFD, 1, 1, 1,1,1
gauge01=wx_radar!wx_radar_debug, 50, 50, 412,412

Yes for me.

Is this an out-of-the-box installation?

Not sure why they don't work for me. Something to do with my default flight, maybe.


- Edit:

Found the culprit. Disabling the F/A-18's MFD somehow breaks the indicators.

Changed radar installation instructions accordingly.



- Edit²:

My paints got uploaded to Flightsim. Someone hopefully finds some use for them.

If I make the glass "glassy" I get complaints ,If I don't make it "glassy" I get complaints.
I don't like "glassy", the glass is just right for me, not too "glassy".

No T1 Chris, at least in the foreseeable future.
There are two on the go that I know of.

Thats clear and plane to see!

Ah thanks Rob thats a shame...
 
I'm very sorry I didn't want to complain about the glass textures, it's just my taste of it. If you could share the info about the glass textures and how to manipulate them, I gladly like to do it on my own. I know a little about repainting in FS9 (alpha channels), but in FSX I guess there are some new ways in creating textures, spec maps and the whole stuff, I unfortunately don't know so far. So please, don't see it as a complaint, just as a little alternation.

Best regards,
Elmar

Hello Elmar,
The glass material is coded into the model to be as clear as possible and still be seen and, without a recompile, cannot be altered.
The glass texture on the other hand could be worked on by someone with more knowledge than me to make it shine.
Someone might come along and read this, with any luck!

If the glass texture is set to use its alpha channel for reflection, playing around with the alpha's coloring (shades of gray only) might yield a usable result.
 
Elmar, are you sure that in the real world those reflections are present when viewed by the pilot or copilot? I would have thought that the designers of both the instruments & cockpit would have tried to eliminate reflections so that there could be no confusion of the values the instrument is showing!

There does not appear to be any of those warnings one sees written on American car wing mirrors!
