I have been using 3DC for some years now, but have not made a model for some time now. I recently upgraded to v6.6 and imported one of my old models to re-texture it. That all worked fine, but when I came to export it to MSTS, there no longer appears to be a MSTS export on the Export menu.

I therefore used the Tools/Train Simulator Wizard, but although this exported the model OK (an engine shed), the transparency for the windows has disappeared.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Mike.

Hi Mike...

Hmm - I believe I am using 6.6... To export I usually select a major piece of the frame contained just under the top most group... After selecting the part - I right click - and - I have a number of different formats to export too... MSTS is one of them...

The texture "translucency" needs to be set to "2" - the ACE can be no bigger than 512x512 -and double check your "alpha" channels on the texture...

Hope this helps...

Regards,
Scott

Thanks Scott,

The old versions of 3DC I used would accept a translucency of '1' - that is where I was going wrong. Works fine now.
