bpcw001 28 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hi, for my custom livery, I'd like to make the cockpit windows look more "greenish" when looking at the aircraft from the outside. Any hints on how this could be achieved and which files would have to be adapted? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Hoffmann 4160 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hi bpcw001! The external glass colors for the A320/A321 are defined in the file: AIRBUS_EX_GLASS_C You can easily decipher which windows are for what on the shapes already. They are either oval, round for the sideward windows or in case of the forward windows (which are important here) pretty edgy and have the largest glass area in one piece. Identification should be so no problem. I hope you use Photoshop to paint your textures, so you can add there a green layer and play a bit with opacity and the transparency settings. I would start with "color" on the render settings there. Copy that glass variant then to your livery, so it will be loaded on startup instead the general fallback one.

bpcw001 28 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hi, did u manage to get the windows more tinted? Yes, I did. It works exactly as Stefan Hoffmann wrote by changing AIRBUS_EX_GLASS_C. However, in order to adjust some reflection effects in different lighting conditions, you might also want to adjust AIRBUS_EX_GLASS_S. Still, I've never gotten it work as good as it is in the A319 by default. Strange enough, but the A319 seems to work a bit different from the A320 in terms of model, textures etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxter 0 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Very intresting, I might just give this ago... I prefer really really dark tined windows, with maybe a little greenish tint in it too ... :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
