David Weber messaged me a couple of days ago asking if there was a way to make the netting in the Mazda MX5 Cup invisible because it bugged him while he plays in VR. I took a stab at making the netting invisible by simply adding an Alpha channel to the texture on my custom livery, but unfortunately it didn't take.
However, with the help of Content Manager, I was able to locally alter the material properties to pay attention to my added Alpha channel, and now my MX5 no longer has safety netting.*
*If you feel this is cheating, please refer to this glorious thread about too many people using the bonnet view on my opinion in this matter before posting your disdain in this thread. Thanks!
