Viper livery panel flickering, anyone can help me out?

[Max75]

Hi there, 

I've downloaded all the Aviano and Spangdhalem liveries available, but.. Something strange appears.. On those liveries, expecially on those who have missions bomb marks, some panel lines and bomb marks are flickering. 

Is there a trick around to fix it?

It's been like that since the F-16 launched for me. Not on the default liveries, but on the user made ones since they are much more detailed and of higher quality.

Could be, stock liveries are flawless, but I've tried other user made in very high rez and they're good, only Aviano and Spangdhalem had that issue, in the beginning Arctic Aggressors had, but now they are fixed. 

Maybe is a Normal map or Rough met issue?

it's mip maps and using the wrong texture format and compression.

Thanks skysurfer, can you give me the right values or parameters? I want to try to convert them to right format

Welcome. Did some texture work for other sims in the past hence why I know this. Too bad other livery creators in DCS don't seem to.
