New LITENING pod texture is wrong

[FoxOne007]

So I recently noticed (once being prompted with it) that the LITENING pod has received new textures, however, they TGP is now blue instead of gray. It looks really off putting and just weird. I hope this can be fixed in the near future.

 

 

Example:

I think its coming from LITENING for Horner, which should be implemented soon. I saw it in Wags video. It looks much better, but i dont know what is the real color (gray or blue).

There are grey and blue. They should include both version in my opinion especially if the blue one is newer. A-10c is pretty old module

[Kev2go]

what is the practical difference between years of production of the same model? why is blue newer?

 

 

 

Litening 2 AT is the litening 2 AT version. You cant really have a "newer"unless ED wants to upgrade Litening 2 AT to the Litening 2 G4.

You also have to remember the A10C Suite 3 would have been a circa 2005-06 era aircraft. Its the first iteration of the A10C. So it really shouldn't be using anything more modern Litening 2 than the AT variation.

 

The improved Litening 2 G4 wouldn't be available until 2008 at the earliest.

I agree that the Litening color should get darker. Here are some reference pictures

 

The old Litening model had a more accurate, or I should say common, color.

The Color Appears correct for me in Photoshop, Modelviewer and in game.

 

What are your Gamma Settings, because almost everything in that screenshot looks overcolored/dark.

My gamma setting is 1.7...

Here are the .dds files.

There is a CLEAR difference in color between what we have been offered and what can commonly be seen in real life, regardless of gamma settings.

This is not a game breaking issue, but is also a very simple thing to change that shouldn't take more than 20 minutes to correct.

I agree with the point the OP is trying to make. The new Litening body color that we have looks ugly and doesn't even match what we can commonly see in real life.

Here are the .dds files.

 

 

Hi,

 

 

can you share the files or give info where to find the dds files, so I can edit them myself?

 

 

Thanks!

Where is the TGP texture folder in DCS?

Could you share the .dds files, or the needed files, so i can have it corrected please?

Thank you.

ED added the ability to change the Litening pod texture via skins (For the F-16 atleast). So this thread is somewhat obsolete now.
