And maybe it's somewhat hard to find as my first post is already over 3 (THREE!!) years old... for something that takes around 5-10 seconds... Anyway, if you want to include my file in your skin files AFAIAC feel free to do so as I don't see a problem, I simply prefer any skins with this file in use anyway. You can reference me if you want to but I don't care too much about that so I don't mind either way. I also wouldn't mind too much if it gets used to finally fix the official file after many many years Your So Kind and Awesome I just love my Skins Now and Will add your file to all my new skins AFAIAC I will also give credit due out of respect. I feel it's honorable to do so. Thank you lol I'm happy lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogma Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 This is just my annual check on the topic, to make sure that yet again this year nothing has been done; don't mind me. I will come back next year. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) Thanks for the fix, @ams999. I've just tested it, and now I can see the only livery I ever made for the Huey as it always should have been! I've just bumped the report.

I will come back next year. Well, here we are again; another year another nothing; five years after the first report. Three years since a fix was provided by a community member... But hey it could be worse, it could be nine years: @Flappie do you think you could bump it once more please ? I still have hopes.

DishDoggie Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 I thought this was fixed in 2.8 and after just making a large Vietnam skin pack for the Huey I would go in and out of the game and the Tail section for me would be matching the Body but the Shine was not removed so for me in 2.8 the flat dull tail now matched the shine on the body. (note no other aircraft have this shine just the Huey) I waited till all the skins were made then replaced the ab_212_lods_json file with ams999 made file and the more realistic Military Flat textures just look real and not as bright and the shiny texture. I did this several time to compare DCS file then am999's file and had the same results. I just use ams999's file. They had to of worked on it or done something I feel but it still is not as good as ams999's version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams999 Posted May 29, 2023 Author Share Posted May 29, 2023 It looks to me like this fix isn't working anymore. ED seems to have changed something in April which means that while the Huey isn't as shiny anymore by default it very much ignores the spec files (with or without my fix, unlike before), so even the skins that are *supposed* to be shiny aren't now (except the covers, there, it still works lmao). If someone knows why or rather how to fix this again I'd be grateful! 2 "[...] because, basically, in this day and age, if you get to the merge and no one's died - it's not good for anybody." - Keith 'Okie' Nance "Nun siegt mal schön!" - Theodor Heuss, September 1958 "Nobody has any intention of building a wall." - Walter Ulbricht, June 1961 "Russia has no plans to invade either Ukraine or any other country." - Vladimir Chizhov, Russia's ambassador to the EU, January 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But man your fix was a awesome fix and made my Liveries look way better then they do now. Thanks.

Ogma Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I almost got exited when I saw a non-shiny Huey after ED's engine update... and then I realised they just removed all spec for all skins... Off to another three years before a proper fix 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
