VC window reflections

Postby Rachet1031 » Fri Oct 27, 2006 10:04 am

With the VC view I have window reflection that appear to be from inside the cabin. My system or maybe my screen doesnt render these to well and was wondering if there is a way to have the high detail Vc without the refection? I tried unchecking just about every thing. Maybe you guys can point me in the right direction.

Thank

Same here I have been trying to find a way to disable this also, it is annoying and I dont find it that realistic.

I think the reflections are part of the model, and therefore cannot be fixed.

They are probably blended in the texture because they dont move when the viewpoint moves.

I tried the Bermuda mission last night looking for the Ghost Squadron and the reflections in the Lear are almost unbearable :'(

Thanks all, I will look at moving the view point. And yep the Lear was the A/C that realy got my attention on this. I wasnt sure if it was my system or what.  I was hoping it might be in a texture file or something in the A/C congfig file.  

Thanks again

If in fact it is a texture then if it can be located it may be possible to fix.

I remember in IL2 Pacific Fighters the Hellcat had this same refection added to it, it was so bad it basically rendered the F6F flyable, they released a patch that contained the fix.

Well I checked the A/C folder and there is a file in there named A321_reflections.dds. I added a comma to the file name (.,dds) and checked, and the window reflections are gone!! Not sure what else it has a inpact on but I see that file in few a/c. Will give it a flight today and check it out. Just a fyi
