[Flightgear-devel] Introduction 2 / Citation Bravo
Hello, hopefully this is the right mailinglist to post about aircraft-modelling, too, since it seems, I've sent my first mail to the wrong mailinglist. I'll just re-post it here: * 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 Hi Jo, The Bravo is in development stage , and probably will be for a while . If you read the set files of aircraft you will see the authors names there. What version are you using , PLIB or OSG ?Did you get the Bravo from CVS ? I,ve made some changes to the P1000 system here , moving it into the Bravo folder instead of Instruments-3d , and yes , it needs a ton of work , but the present issue with it is coming up with a better text drawing routine , which I haven't managed yet ... I'm not sure what to suggest , I occasionally get the transparency problem , but more often than not , it seems to be caused by animation object grouping ... Do you have any pictures of the panel changes ? Cheers, Syd - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
