• 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 All,

Usually a scenery designer but, Have a little question.

I have the HJG Jetstream 31 model, And some of you may no the transparency on the props is a little poor:

Is there any way to fix this, so they look a little more real?

Thanks in advance!
 
Is this the Model? BAE JETSTREAM 31 by Jorge Sánchez Version 1.0


Go to the Folder where the Prop bmp is. Make a copy of them - place it anywhere there you will find it if you later want them.
Open the bmp of the Prop with DXTBmp now you see on the right top corner the Alpha bmp.
If you have the DxtBmp linked with your Paint-Programm, double-klick on the Alpha and the Paint-Programm will start. Let the DXTBmp-Programm open.
Now you see there the Alpha bmp - the black color must have in RGB 0,0,0 for transparency.
Then you save it as alpha.bmp.
You go back to DXTBmp and above in the Menue open Alpha then you klick on Import Alpha Channel - now you open the Alpha.bmp that you have saved. Say then yes
Now save the bmp under the same Place where the Original was - give them the same Name as the Original.
Start the FS and see what you have done.

Is the alpha supposed to be white?

You have maybe a Download Link.

I want to have a look please.

Or set the prop.bmp as Attachment.
Maybe you must make rar or zip.

Sorry - but now I think it is not a Paint Problem,
but a model problem.
I have last night search the HJG Plane.
I have one found at Avsim (hp137rn1.zip) - i do some changes on the prop_t.bmp,
but nothing to solve the transparency Problem.
They have the material Opacity to low as they modeling
the Plane.
I have removed the Attachment.
