Ala13_ManOWar Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 If I'm not mistaken that's probably due to having used some old template which featured misplaced elements back then. Anyhow, wings, better or worse represented, are a feature. P-51 wings were puttied, sanded, and painted silver dope, not bare metal. Once done (in the latest P-51 update, it wasn't there before) many old skins already there just stopped working or work badly.

GumidekCZ Posted June 9, 2023 Author Share Posted June 9, 2023 But what we have now is almost white color, NOT glossy SILVER paint colored surface: null Some WWII/post war pictures: THIS MIRROR LIKE FINISH IS NOT HISTORICALLY ACCURATE: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughguy Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Whilest the textures are outdated, wartime mustangs werent really mirror polished, and also the wings were puttied and indeed painted with a silvery protection coat. 1 https://sr-f.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, it's very well know thing. I think that the paint was also oversprayed with glossy lacquer to protect the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s exactly the OPs point; the fuselages should not be so reflective but equally the wings shouldn’t look like they’re painted in a Matt light grey primer….

GumidekCZ Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Beside errors in Lua and old Specular textures, EDs fault is there in lack of blue channel for reflections, and less green for glossyer lacquer finish. Aileron and flaps must be less polished. Edited June 10, 2023 by GumidekCZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art-J Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 One more reason to use Magic Zach's default skins repaints. I know we shouldn't rely on his work to fix things ED haven't found time to improve themselves, but for the time being it's the only solution we've got. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

That's the outer temporary solution, but we need from ED to fix it. They can take MG's or some of Reflected's Mustang skins as a good way to start. And when they will do that, they can also make new cockpit textures.
