CSLA missile inflight models are rendered behind the ambient occlusion effect
Acknowledged, NormalPublic

Description

The inflight models of some (all?) CSLA missiles are partially transparent - the ambient occlusion layer is rendered in front of them. This is odd because they are notionally solid objects.

Picture shows a vanilla Vorona \A3\Weapons_F_Tank\Launchers\Vorona\Vorona_missile_heat_fly (top), and a CSLA TOW csla_afmc_air\Weap\bgm71c_fly.p3d (bottom). Note that the ambient occlusion outline of the vegetation behind the TOW is visible through the missile body, while the Vorona has no such effect.

Steps To Reproduce

The problem is most easily observed by spawning the inflight models as simple objects, but you could also do it by launching them and then very quickly switching to the camera, if you're some kind of maniac.

Additional Information

I think this is probably a material config thing, as this looks similar to how AO appears through some glass materials.
