Tried adding reflections to one of the AirplanePlus cockpits and I'm running into this problem.
The textures and reflection look fine when I'm zoomed right in but when I zoom out it fades to black.
I THINK I did everything right in paint.net but obviously not. I opened the .dds, used the magic wand to select all the window segments, inverted the selection, used the transparency adjustment installed by BoltBaits transparency.dll to lower the transparency, then saved the new image using the settings in the OP.
Just to clarify this has nothing to do with the part itself, I had the exact same result when I tried it on the stock Mk1 Inline cockpit.
Any help is appreciated :V
