Hi, thank you for making this plane for Prepar3d.
Can you tell me how did you got Prop discs not contain shadow, i have issue in some of my converted props that has a disk shadow and i want to make that disappear from those conversions? Thank you

Do you mean the prop disk itself or the disk is casting a shadow on the ground? If you're referring to the actual prop disk itself being "solid." You have make sure the propeller blur texture in MCX is "set default transparent" in the material editor and you have a proper transparent alpha channel set for that propeller state.

Yes, i have this issue the prop disk cast shadow on ground and in plane model itself, usually in wing parts. I will try this what you suggested, thank you for your help
I have usually made prop disk transparent settings myself, by selecting "invsrcalpha" and "srcalpha", and also "special functionality", and setting those settings it was showing the propdisk shadow.
It's usually done like this, with the Material Editor in McX:
Unfortunately, for some aircrafts, simply reexporting the mdl file breaks some, or all the animations, even if doing nothing but this simple fix...
In this case, it's best to ask the original developper to do it, if possible, with his own developping tools, not McX.
Example where this fix didn't work:
Question - are you re-exporting the model as an FSX model or P3D? If you are exporting as FSX try re-importing the model into MCX and re-exporting it. That has been know to correct the broken animation issue. There is a "bug" in the FSX export that sometimes breaks the animations but Arno hasn't been able to determine the cause. Re-importing and exporting the model can resolve the issue.
Alternately - export the model as P3D native, that should fix it as well.

Hi, and thank you.
I tried this in a couple aircraft models and it worked fine but in some of other planes i tested does not work and the prop disk shadows not vanish.
But guess i have to live with that
Thank you for your help, i have made so many old classic aircrafts working in Prepar3d v5, so im glad at least i get them work, that is the main goal and im happy with that.
