I am using tgatool2 to create invisible window panes but it dosn't seem to work when I try to create an alpha channel for the windows.
The windows are still coming in as a solid black image.
Is there something that I'm missing.
I have the MSTS patch installed.
You can see by these 2 shots what I'm trying to do. Cab anyone help me?Joe simerjoe@cox.net

RE: No invisibility

if you built the object, you need to add transparancies to the object's faces before they'll show up in the sim.
