Tower windows!
« on: September 25, 2020, 01:13:00 am »
When viewed from inside the cockpit, the tower doesn't have any windows! Just purely transparent. External camera shows them just fine, and they look great.

Otherwise, this little thing is a solid 11/10 scenery! Amazing job and it blends so well with the surroundings. Awesome little destination.

That's not a problem of the scenery, of course, it's feature, and It's caused by the fact we used for the tower windows a specific material that is also used in the VC glass, to allow RAINDROPS ON THE TOWER when it's raining.

However, ( we don't know if it's by design or it's a bug ) the simulator doesn't show this material when you are already in the VC, maybe it's an optimization to prevent having to draw raindrops twice.
