g3.5 trex appearance question

[snowcrash75]

any idea how to remove the canopy so that i can fly naked :D? i downloaded the t-rex 450 file from the swap forums and i would like to have it show as just the frame, no canopy. i tried to edit the file and removed the canopy but it still appears...i don't really know much about how to alter the files on this. more of a flyer than a computer guy.

cmon kids, somebodys gotta know how to edit visual appearance...yes?

two ways ...

1. go into the editor and make the canopy so weak that it falls off as soon as you start flying, look for the strength multiplier and set it to 1.

2. you can edit the color scheme. you need to modify the alpha channel of the texture / color scheme. White is opaque and black is transparent. This might not work it all depends how the model was setup.

nothing seemed to change when i modified the strength multiplier, even after i intentionally crashed hard, it hangs in there. couldn't figure out how to edit the color scheme, only option i could find regarding the color scheme was to reload it. thanks though. any other ideas?
