I made some screenshots of the F-16. http://home.tiscali.no/rvovesen/f16-cockpit.png http://home.tiscali.no/rvovesen/f16-ext1.png http://home.tiscali.no/rvovesen/f16-ext2.png You can clearly see from ext1 and ext2 that the lights are not visible through the canopy of the F-16, but still the building in the background is. The cockpit shot is a bit harder to see but you can see that inside the darker region no lights are visible. The canopy glass of the F-16 has probably (I haven't opened the model in AC3D) some semitransparent material. The same holds for the propeller disk of the C172, and if you try the Cub I think it too has a transparent material for the propeller disk. I would say that it is an issue with semitransparent materials. If you try the 2d panels the lights are visible. But the strangest thing is that as the aircraft rises above som 50 ft above the ground the lights appear. -- Roy Vegard Ovesen _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
