a tip for rendering the exterior of cockpit windows

i wanted to give a tip for rendering the front windows on 3d cockpits on ac3d. some people have run into difficutly getting the exterior obj windows to merge nicely with the xplane 'acf' fuselage.. a great solution to this can be seen on the way benedict stratman does the windows on his 737. it solves a bunch of problems plus it completely eliminates any jaggies on the window frames.

my 707 exterior windows obj file uses the same trick as benedicts 737 except that i have allowed for window frames to show up between the cockpit windows by separating the cockpit windows into separate windows. and that elimates all the fuselage to obj connecting problems, and also eliminates all jaggies on windows and window frames.
