A little question about the "Bare Metal"...

Skulleader · May 28, 2014

Hello,

I have one question concernant this texture: Bare Metal, please can you tell me if you have the same result with this texture ?

With this only texture I have the sensation that the texture is white and not metal.

Please can you tell me if you have this result ?

PS: I've installed the last version of DCSW v1.2.8.27915

Few screenshots of this repaint "Bare Metal":

I would like to thank you in advance, Skull.

This is what I see....

I think the problem you are experiencing is that IRL, a bare polished metal surface has a certain reflective quality, which is not rendered in the simulation. Personally, I'm fine with this: The graphics engine struggles enough without needing to perform raytracing operations on a large number of large, curving surfaces.

Hello,

I would like to thank you for your screenshots and your explanations, in fatc all my skins work fine, just the "Bare Metal" skin seems to white or strange...

As it's not easy to understand I join you one little video of my "Bare Metal" and please can you tell me if you have the same result, sorry for the wrong fly but it's very hard to fly in external view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=lCqg3svg7kU

A great thanks in advance for you assistance, bye. Skull

yes, it is going to look white/grey rather than shiny metal like in real life. This is because the simulator does not render the mirror-reflective quality that polished metal has in the real world.
