Hi All
Also another thing I ran into the other day is in a 3D cockpit
with layer type glass screens the screens hide 3d objects although
the 3d object is actually between the screen and you.In this case I
am given to understand from Syd Adams that a alpha channel has to
be added to the texture for the 3d object to get it to show in the correct
order.With 3d cockpits being flavor of the month more people will run
across this problem.
Cheers
