Could someone please explain about the Alpha Channel. I keep trying to make a reflective texture but all I end up with is a see through. I've looked at the textures of models that have the same effect I'm trying to create and even when I try to reproduce the effect I still end up with a partially transparent part.
I'm aware of the fact that if I paint something pure black it will be transparent. What I'm getting is a partially transparent part even when it's painted red. You can see the ground or any other aircraft parts through it.
