Default Re: Just bought AC3D (a noobie!) - X-Plane User

Well, I answered my own question - my misc objects were not visible because they were "inside" the PlaneMaker fuselage. Apparently, even though you could "see" through the windshield and windows in the Planemaker fuselage, it is not truly transparent. The only object visible through the transparent glass of the PM fuse is my cockpit_OUT object. To test out my theory, I edited my RemosGX_paint.png file, and made the entire fuselage mapped textures transparent. When I ran PlaneMaker, of course the fuselage was missing, but all of my interior misc objects were visible.
So, I am now modeling the fuselage in AC3D to replace the default PM fuselage. The trick will be to figure out how to make the AC3D fuse have truly transparent glass.
