If it's for FSX, that depends on the program the object is exported from.
FSDS requires you to set the material name to "trans"
In Gmax you must have the FSX gamepack and set "Default Transparency" under properties.
Then change the alpha channel of the texture to black.

LoL nothing to hide.... honest ;D
hmmm, so for example if i wanted to make the taxiway signs invisible (aptsign.Bmp) it would be impossible ? even if i changed the alpha because the model file that it uses need to have transparency enabled ? I hope that makes sense.

I believe so, Craig. I once tried to remove a figure from a cockpit, but changing the alpha texture only made the figure extremely shiny. ;D I'd almost bet that the transparent/reflective switch could be reset using a hex editor if a person just knew what hex string to look for.

What Brian said.  If you wanted to make the taxi-signs invisible you would have to decompile the BGL, find the exact model which would be named something like "2513nasfdasfb2bfb" then edit it, and recompile. Are you simply trying to remove the signs from the airport? You can use excludes to do that instead. |

Sounds like its beyond my abilities  I was trying to do it for all airports rather than just one in particular |
