reported civ_uh1_tail_spec fails to point to modded version

[Statua]

When you remove the hardpoints from the airframe, the tail reverts to the default specular rather than the modded specular. Can be replicated by using the Royal Australian Navy skin and removing the hardpoints. This happens on all liveries with a modified specular.

 

Hardpoints removed (bugged)

Hardpoints added

Here is the code from DCS World/Bazar/Liveries/uh-1h/Australia Royal Navy/description.lua

Been over a month and no reply so bump. This issue bothers me as I use a nice shiny paint job on some training helicopters that is ruined by this bug because we don't use hardpoints.

Hey Statua! Very easy to reproduce indeed. No need for custom liveries. Here's a video showing the issue with stock liveries:

Is there a lua edit we can do to get the proper specular without hardpoints?

I know this is an older post but I just recently finished my first skin and finally noticed this issue.  I found an older post from Helles Belle whose solution seems to work.  I don't know if the json file will have to be changed after each version update, but this does at least seem to be a temporary fix.  Maybe everyone know this fix already, but just thought i would pass on what I found as I see ED has not fixed the issue yet.  It might not be as noticeable in my pic below, but you can definitely tell if you use the Huey VIP skin.
