work in progress AH-64D Japanese skin glitch

[zerO_crash]

Discovered by accident that the Japanese skin for the AH-64D has a glitch, where two hatches are open beneath the right engine block.

Hm my full JGSDN Japanese fleet looks normal.

Sorry I don´t know what details on the texture files must be fixed, otherwise I could help you. Maybe you should also contact Roy Campbell to ask him for a tip what to fix on this texture, his Codec frequency is 140.85.

The glitch specifically occurs with AN/APG-78 installed. Added "TEST"-mission for replication.

 

Simply launch the mission, join the AH-64D-slot, and go to F2-view.

You have a US-fleet with Japanese Defense Force skin btw. If authenticity matters, you should change the country of these AH-64s to Japan.

Noticed the same glitch on another skin, US Apache with Axe-symbol on engine cowling (3rd or 4th from top in editor selection). Occurs in the exact same way and with AN/APH-78 mounted.

 

#MOD Can you guys verify it?

This is an animation that is incomplete. These engine doors close after the engine is started and open back up after the engine is shut down. But they aren't fully implemented yet with the corresponding logic.

Gotcha, thanks!

I have tested this yesterday with all my Japanese Apaches for you but I still was not able to reproduce this effect. That´s why I was not sure what to answer...

But now we have an explanation so that´s an engine door. What does it do, eject pressure from the bypass air stream similar to the F-14 does to prevent a flame-out? Or is it a cooling door?

Not only o the japanese skin but most skins.  its random.

This doesn´t look like a visual glitch but a very high quality modeled double door in the engine nacelle. Probably a small door to have the Yokai, the Fox-spirit and the Kodamas a sneak-peek into the awesome engines after an exciting Aokigahara flight.

The colors also are not correct. The green should have a more grey hue, and the brown should have much less red.
