Discussion Mesh making with Blender

Something strange is hapenning. I assigned a texture to only one meshgroup (Fuselage), and made additional texture maps for it, but in game all the parts are reflective:

Are you using the _metal map?
I noticed this with the bell206, did want to post on it, don't know why it happens but can confirm that it is the case.
Workaround: it's connected to the roughness map (and possibly somehow with _spec and _refl). I had to make "zero" roughness maps for all the other textures!
 
Thanks, yes, I used all those maps. I used your helicopter add-on as an example. I think I'll make some tests and post the corresponding issue on GitHub.
 
Deleting the metal map fixes the issue, but it's not a solution, of course.
 
Added and animated all wheels. Created a version with the flag (as a mesh) of my country:

Are there any ways to hide the texture cutting/intersection by camera? The pilot's seat is located near the left side window, so the camera cuts off part of the window texture in the 3D cockpit view. I wouldn't like to move the pilot's viewpoint a little to the right as it would be unnatural:

It's on Lua script.
 
I thought I found a solution:
Virtual cockpit near clip-plane distance is defined in D3D9Client.cfg and the default value is 0.1 meters.
I reduced the value of the "VCNearPlane" parameter in "D3D9Client.cfg", but I don't see any changes in game.
 
This option seems to be related only with the outer view, not VC.
I don't know why, but this way works now:
I reduced the value of the "VCNearPlane" parameter in "D3D9Client.cfg", but I don't see any changes in game.

Maybe I used wrong value before.

Also, editing this parameter automatically unchecks the"Disable near clip plane compatibility mode", but it still works if I check it again.
 
I sure hope you release this one, I haven't been excited for an aircraft in Orbiter since SR-71 rolled out ages ago.
