Hello,
I'm quite new to Flightgear, Flightsimulation in general and open source.
But as
it seems, I'm having a lot of fun with it.
Since I'm enjoying flying the Citation Bravo most and I do have some
knowledge of Blender, I started editing the Aircraft a bit (minor changes
like:
adding labels to some instruments, Fixing some ugly body-dents, etc).
I could very well imagine to get myself more involved into developing that
plane, but I'm not sure what things are taken care of by others and how the
coordination of the work is done. I think especially the cockpit, and most of
all
the primus-1000, needs some work.
But now a actual modelling question:
While editing, I faced a rather stange problem. After exporting the .blend
file to
.ac and loading the Model in Flightgear, the Cabindoor-Window "gets
blind",
meaning the transparency is lost. There's still the chrome-animation applied
to
it and the window mesh shares the same material as the other, still
transparent,
windows, but you can't look through.
That problem even occurs when I import the original Mesh into Blender and
export it again without making any changes. I'm using Blender 2.43.
Regards,
Jo
