Title: Main Buildings -> Lot Models -> Windows not transparent?
Post by: Captain7 on December 22, 2011, 07:26:27 pm: Hi there,

I just purchased the Zurich Airport (FS9) and discovered a strange effect. When moving towards the main buildings you can see the LOT-model changing but unfortunately the windows switch to non-transparent when you pass a certain distance. See screenshot.
Is there any fix available?

System: i7 // ATI 5850 // 8GB Ram // Win7 64 Bit

Thanks Volker

Your screenshot shows it IS 3d, but not transparent, which is not normal, and doesn't happen here, and nobody every reported it in the 4 years Zurich has been released, so it must be something else, like a video driver problem or a settings problem.

In any case, we are releasing a large update ( with the new Terminal B ), very shortly, probably tomorrow, maybe this problem will go away.

Post by: Captain7 on December 24, 2011, 04:15:48 pm: Cool - windows are transparent now! Updated the scenery to 2.5 and updated the ATI Driver from 11/11 to 11/12.
