Permanent antiglare panels?
« on: May 23, 2006, 12:21:16 PM »
Hi all,

I know there was an issue with antiglare panels on P-38s way back in the P-38L only days.

Are they still non-adjustable?

I was interested in, and have been working on a scheme that should be shiny where the panels are on the P-38J. I thought that by this release AH would have a file to adjust for the panels but I have not found anything. I also did a search in this forum and only found a post that someone thinks there is no way to adjust it. Can anyone give a definitive answer?

And, should anyone know, if the antiglare panels are permantent, can skins that were supposed to be non-antiglare be submitted with that limitation?

Best Regards,

Cement

Heres the problem -

The skin can be set as matt or shiny using the materials file, but it applies to the WHOLE aircraft.

But in some models certain areas are defined as matt by default no matter what the setting in the materials file. This is done on a polygon level and is non adjustable by us mere mortals.

Yes your skin should be acceptable, allowances are made if something in the model prevents total 100% accuracy.
