Im no expert but from what i understand it is a grayscale image to control the stregth of the shadow that gets casted onto the texture.

The file consits of four images the last two are without the shadow casted by the armor.

If you want to remove that shadow for example you would need to copy one of the last two images over the first two images.

Iirc. i saw that trick first inside a livery by Eight Ball.

The file is a *.dds (DirectDrawSuface) there are several free programs that are able to work with these files.

Many thanks for your answer ! I know about PBR and how is working !
but my question is :
does it mean i have to copy it in Roughmet Red channel ?! or is that file works independently ?! if yes how should i edit the description file in liveries folder !?!
