Skin / paint reflection, matte or gloss?

[SharpeXB]

Something I notice on footage of real aircraft compared to DCS is the shine on the surface in the sun. Especially the 190 and 109 since they aren't reflective like the P-51 or matte like the modern planes. The matte paint finish doesn't seem to be correct. Watch the video here.

 

Is this something that might be addressed with EDGE? The screenshots of the aluminum F-86 on the DCS website look much better and are probably made with the new graphics engine.

German aircraft paints of that era is know to have semi-gloss finish when fresh, not full matte.

In K4 first teaser video it looks like there is more gloss in paint, so maybe EDGE will adress this.
