Roughmet texture enabled aircraft? namely the F15C.

[Fallen_907]

Hello everybody,

 

I've already done numerous searches on this forum, and google and cannot find a list of Roughmet enabled aircraft. I have recently made a new F15 Livery, but am unable to get the roughmet textures to load onto it, despite triple checking my description.lua, and I suspect that roughmet is not enabled on the F15, which sucks because I spent A LOT of time creating roughmet textures for it.

 

so two questions,

 

1: is there a list of roughmet enabled aircraft? newer aircraft like the harrier and hornet are obvious.

 

2: Has ANYONE been able to get the F15 to recognize the roughmet texture type?

Considering the main texture folder doesn't call out any roughmet files, I think not. It still calls out SPEC files. And there are no roughmet in the texture zip folder.

Basically, the engine of DCS will load the roughmet for any model (even the not updated) when naming convention and correct folders location are correct.

Have you tried to put the *NAME_OF_YOUR_DIFFUSE*_roughmet.dds in DCS folder's Bazar/TempTextures?

I have not tried to put them in the /TempTextures folder, I will try that next.

also did not work, It appears that the engine is no longer loading the spec maps, but the roughmet textures are not being applied, it would be hard to miss for my particular livery.

 

Here is a sample of my code lines from the Description.lua

 

{"f15bottom", 0 ,"104th_f15_bottom_Diff",false};

{"f15bottom", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC,"104th_f15_bottom_Diff_RoughMet",false};

{"f15bottom", 3 ,"f15_decol_empty",true};

Doesn't the model have to be compiled to use Roughmets though? Sorry I'm completely ignorant on that aspect.

No.
