• 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,

I was just wondering if anyone knows how to make windows have that "Reflective Style" on them. Like what you can see on all the FSX service cars?

I done a few searches but with no luck.

Thanks for your help

I dont remember much from the days when I was using FSDS but I m certain that you would need to assign this property to the texture itself. Try going to the texture name in FSDS--->edit and there you should tick a box that says something like 'Reflective'. This would allow FSDS to assign the reflective property to that texture (i.e. window texture)
 
The FSX material settings involve:

Use Global envrionment map as reflection
Modulate by Inverse of Diffuse Alpha

Thus -- darker alpha will increase reflection.

I am unsure what you need to alter in FSDS (Max / Gmax user here) .. but you can probably alter these TweakFSDS if they are unavailable in the main interface.
 
Thanks for your replies, i'll try this tonight. I found the box where you can tick the Reflective property, same as with night textures, but I was un-aware I needed the alpha as well.

I'll let you know how it goes

Thanks again :)
