hello, while working on another repaint, i noticed this thing with the default fsx acceleration fa-18 textures

i got xload pack, and i've been using it's repaint kit to paint the f18, since its works for both.

so i decided to try my texture on both f18s, thats what happened:

while xload fa-18D appears to have cool sun bright reflections, the default fa18 is 100% opaque (except for the engines exhaust). not just my textures, the default ones (except for the blue angels textures, wich will have less reflections on xload, idk why) are also totally unreflective. check them above




i don't know exactly the texture.cfg works, but i tried changing the paths to the CSfa18D, i tried replacing the specular and bump textures, i tried everything, nothing works.

any help would give me support with repaints
thanks

The F-18A model materials settings have been set by MS team designers on their own discretion. Therefore we neither comment nor support the F-18A model.
The F-18D model features custom CS materials settings providing more realistic look.

As for the free liveries issues, sorry we do not support them.
Nice repaint though!
