Just make the cockpit a glossy material.

I make the cockpit a glossy, but doesnt work (the background image was added in PS for a preview in the office), the idea is create the scene wit the jet movement, render just the jet in octane and the clouds in maya or vue, but if i use daylight, i cant add a reflection texture, and if i use hdr, i have the reflection but not de light and shadows.

Yes. You are stuck with Sun & uniform blue reflections or HDRI without expressed shadows. It's not possible to combine the two in OCtane. You could try rendering twice, and composite the result.

HDR + Sun is the most wanted feature request since ever.

Might be best to just do it in Post. Do a second render with the HRDI and combine them in Photoshop.

Yeah, i thinking on combine the renders in after effects, its a 30 sec animation at 24fps.
