    Is there a technique or a mod to remove the reflections of the runway in the cockpit in liveries with a female copilot?

        Hi,

        I will let you know. I was working on that today. I can upload the texture files when they are ready.

            Thanks, good luck! I really love flying these planes.

                Hi, it's tough.
                Not even Asobo have answered.

                I'll be making changes on the models starting with the 787-9. It's going to be on the next update.
                But I'm currently testing other type of materials.
                The windshield can't be updated because the material properties already are program to create these effects.

                The default 737 doesn't do this nor many default planes. But they are using fs24 properties. Soon we'll be 100% only fs24 so we can control it. Right now I'm forced to cater using fs20 tools.

                It looks like a solution has just been suggested by Asobo:

                Hello @here

                A fix candidate was introduced with SU6:

                The R channel for cubemap reflections masking is now used as a scalar. However, the masking is done before tone mapping, so even small values in the mask will lead to a lot of light being output.
                A parameter has been addedSSR Attenuation

                    Hello,

                    Fixed candidate, yes, but I believe that's for 2024.

                      Sorry to ask this side question but can you see a ( female) copilot? My copilot seat is always empty while I have a copilot selected in the game settings.

                              ohhh ok, i didnt know that, I thought it would become visible when the Dreamliners become 2024 native.

                                Hello!

                                The new 787-9 update will give you a copilot for all models. The livery update has multiple fixes.
                                Update 5 EFB will give you the option to toggle the copilot in case you aren't interested in having humans around ^_^
