James I have just run a very quick check on a few aircraft. My apologies, but I should have used the word opaque and not translucent.
F22 (jsbsim) has an opaque HUD, Mirage F1 has an opaque cockpit. They are both transparent when Rembrandt is disabled. The Saab Draken seems to have no cockpit. This is with or without Rembrandt enabled. Concorde crashes Flightgear at start-up. Again this is not affected by Rembrandt. As a general comment I find that the flying characteristics of most of the aircraft that I flipped through seem very unrealistic. They seem to be optimised for ease of use by non-pilots. This makes Flightgear appear to be a toy, or game, when it is capable of being an accurate flight simulator. IMHO this is a great pity. There are exceptions - e.g. the default Cessna 172, so it can be done. How can we encourage developers to pay as much attention to aerodynamics as they do to eye candy?
