(Aircraft interior) glassReflectionMaskFactor Bug

When implementing a MSFS Glass material inside the virtual cockpit, the parameter "glassReflectionMaskFactor" no longer functions. Instead the reflection is always present. Manually altering the value to absurd values like "100" (range shall be 0 to 1) in the .gltf file itself leads to "funky" effects. Anything form 0 to 1 leads to the same reflection amount.

The material is set very simple. No textures applied.

The material has been used to add reflections to the canopy glass. This works nicely, but cannot be tuned, as "glassReflectionMaskFactor" has no effect. Using roughness is not an option for the canopy glass.

Hello @MariopilotPD808

This parameter only has an influence on the fake cockpit reflections but screen space reflections and sky cubemap influence are not influenced by this.
We have plans to improve the cockpit reflections so that it's no longer an issue.

Regards,
Sylvain
