Stefan,
There is a limitation when loading collada file with a texture containing Alpha Channel. GLC_Player doesn't detect the Alpha channel of the texture. Also, there is a work around. You can edit material properties in GLC_Player and store your modification in an Album like the album provide with GLC_Player.

Here's a screenshot of edition o the proppler's material :
And then change the Transparency (Alpha) value of the material.
