• 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.

Transparent Vcockpit Background Color Issue in the Panel.cfg

Hello,
Since I have ported my projects from blender 2.93 to Blender 3.6 and recreated all materials, I can no longer use my 3D tablet that I had created on my old projects

This tablet was configured to have a plan on the top on which several "sheets/images" were displayed.
In Blender a material without texture (MSFS Material Disabled) was applied and in the panel.cfg, this "screen" was declared in Vcockpit01 :
[VCockpit01]
Background_color =0,0,0
size_mm =1024,1024
pixel_size =1024,1024
emissive = 0
texture =$Panel_MSFS
gauge00 =Canso!PBY_Init, 0, 0, 1, 1
gauge01 =Canso!PBY_Mngt, 0, 0, 834,600
Click to expand...
The 3D tablet is displayed but nothing can be read on the screen which appears opaque black, not transparent.
According to the SDK, when the “background_color” in the panel.cfg is set to 0,0,0, the Vcockpit panel background should be transparent, nor solid (opaque) black.

I have tried using $Panel_MSFS and also Panel_MSFS (according to the SDK: https://docs.flightsimulator.com/ht...l_cfg.htm?rhhlterm=vcockpit&rhsearch=Vcockpit) but nothing works.

A question like this has been published on the Question & Answer forum of Microsoft ( https://devsupport.flightsimulator....-background-color-issue-in-the-panel-cfg/7978 ) but with no answer from Asobo.
For developers who use this method: have you a solution for Blender 3.6 and the last export plugin from Asobo ?
