Trying to get "Fresnel w/Alpha" material going

Post by P3D SpacePort Team »

Hi everyone,

Has anyone had any luck getting the following material to display properly? This has been in the SDK for the longest time, even way back from FSX days, and It has never worked for me. I can't believe that P3D would keep this as a feature through all the versions (1 to 5) without checking if it worked at all.

The material effect is supposed to make edges of objects blend to "invisible". I tried the Fresnel Ramp and Fresnel Alpha as described in the SDK, but the described effect is nowhere to be seen. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,
