That's a common feature for the VC in a lot aircraft. It's the internal reflections. The only way to "fix" it that I know of is to darken the Alpha channel of the .bmp for the glass texture.

If that would be the way then to go into the alpha channel to darken, it would only make it more reflective. You would need to go the lighter end of the gray scale like White for your Alpha Channel, that would remove all reflections. White absorbs the artifical light in FSX, where Black reflects the most of the artifical light in FSX making it more reflective. There are 256 shades of gray from white to black, I would start with White, and then start moving up the scale to a very light gray and so on until you find the reflection you are happy with.

Hope you found this useful. B0ikat you were headed in the right direction, just alittle help I offered with the steering :)
