Default skin bleed through

[reece146]

Sorry if this is a basic question - new to DCS. I did some searching around and couldn't find anything that described this problem or if it did describe there did not seem to be a solution.

 

 

I've applied some custom skins to the F-86. Almost all of them seem to be bleeding through the default skin. If you look at the image I attached you can see the USAF letters on the starboard wing and the US roundel backgrounds on the fuse and port wing.

 

What causes this? Skin too old for 2.5.5? Is there a fix for this?

 

Thanks.

If the normal map is in the wrong or old format, it would cause this pass-through effect, but on the plane as a whole. I don't know why it'd only be a stripe on the wings

This is because the F-86F was upgraded to PBR Roughmets and your description.lua is either not calling for ot correctly, or you mever made one.

Thanks, that was helpful. I don't know if this is the "correct" way to do it but maybe this will help someone else that runs into this problem.

 

I took the rough metal dds from the default livery and copied it to this downloaded livery's directory.

 

Then I added all the rough metal references in the default livery's description.lua to the custom livery's description.lua.

 

Seems to have worked. It appears that this skin's black Canadair interior textures work fine without any additional tweaking. We'll see if I notice anything with seat time.

The Original Screenshot you posted was because the Livery was using Default Specular Map, which is for the Airforce Livery w/ the Yellow Markings on Wings and Vertical Stab.

 

Specular's are no longer being used (now it's PBR Roughness/Metallic Maps),

Hi reese146, I'm presently re-doing all my old Sabre skins to DCS 2.5 standard, the one you're working with is now done. You can get the updated version here:

Let me know if you have any problems, and you can watch for new skins in my Sabre 2.5 thread here:
