Not sure what you want to know specific but I assume you want to know what you have to do different for DCS compared to "normal" workflow.

Haven't used SP2 for DCS but I would assume as usual you paint on the UVs you set in 3dsmax or maya before and then export for PBR.

If that does not meet DCS standards you may have to Photoshop fix it.

Not a straight answer because I don't know for sure but that's what I would try first.

after you export the textures, it's a matter of putting the roughness, metallic and ambient occlusion textures into DCS's required channels.

 

R = AO

G = Roughness

B = Metallic

 

Then you put it in the specular level channel.

 

You will also need to adjust the channels to look good in DCS because ED doesn't have any shader support for substance. What you see in substance wont necessarily be the same in DCS.

 

basecolor and normals should be obvious :

 

Now, because ED allows turning off PBR mode, you will need to name the new texture exactly the same as the original diffuse file, but with '_RoughMet' after it.

 

In the description you will add this....(for example)

 

{"PLANE_FUSELAGE", 0 ,"Plane_Fuse_Dif",true};
{"PLANE_FUSELAGE", 1 ,"Plane_Fuse_NMp",true};
{"PLANE_FUSELAGE", 2 ,"Plane_Fuse_Spec",true};
{"PLANE_FUSELAGE", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"Plane_Fuse_Dif_RoughMet",true};
