Texture will be for FSX, right?
It's possible with tha alpha channel, but it takes time! There's a difference between the CFM and the IAE model alpha channel. The alphas I created for the CFM version of my HD textures can't be directly merged to the IAE version. It took me about 1 month to figure out which color (based between black, grey and white) fits best to the airplane alpha channel and creates a nice textrue shine and glow. You ahve to play with the alpha maps, test different settings, ... just try it. It's not that difficult ;)

Here's a picture of my Project Airbus AirFrance (NC) A318 HD texture (custom alphas and window textures)

There's a difference between the texture above and below the windows. This effect is created with a cutom FSX alpha channel, makes it look more realistic.
If you need any information feel free to pm me!

Sad to say, but you won't find it anywhere. There's no download.
It's preview material for private use only, I'm sorry!
Maybe in Q3 or Q4 of 2012 ;)
