Skin Problem

[Xilon_x]

I'm having problems with skins after the latest DCS updates.

what is going on?

the corrupt skin seems to mix with another skin.

They switched Sabre to roughmets a while ago

can the problem be solved?

does the problem only occur on the saber module or even other modules?

what should i do to repair the skin?

do i have to do some updates?

The problem can be solved only by skin authors reworking all of them to be compatible with 2.5.5. Some of them have started doing that, but it's going to take a while.

[AeriaGloria]

just go user files to find ones done after 2.5.5

ok i understand so you need to download the skin from version 2.5.5 onwards.

but does this problem only concern the SABER module or even other modules?

[Art-J]

Some modules switched to new materials in their textures earlier, some still haven't done so.

 

F-86 switched only recently, together with MiG-15. I don't know about the others.

As explained the problem is that the Sabre now uses RoughMets. Every single user-made paint must now be converted to use RoughMets. Unfortunately it's not a simple rename of the Spec file or of inverting channels. The Roughmet is not a 1:1 per channel of the old Spec file. So they will all have to be redone per paint job for a complete conversion.
