So L-M did fix the external tank textures in v4.4, and for that I'm very happy.
Unfortunately, for me, I still have another external texture issue that annoys me. I don't know if anybody else is seeing this, or if its just me, but hopefully some of you might guide in the right direction...?

The color of the vertical stabilizer and the main wheel wells and some other external textures are showing a radically different color than the rest of the aircraft. The same was evident in v4.3 as well, and it was one of those things I'd hoped would be corrected in v4.4. For now it looks like all the textures affected is from the texture file "C130_4_T.dds". Both homegrown and included liveries are affected. As you can see in the included screenshot, the colors of the main gear wells, the vertical stabilizer, the external tanks and engines are way off compared to the rest of the fuselage.

I noticed in skmcconnell361's screenshots that no such color difference was evident, for some reason, so I'm starting to suspect that it's just me, but even if that is the case, I need to figure out why it appears this way on my setup.

I'm not using Tomato or Reshade, just PTA, by the way, before anyone asks.
Anyways, I could sure use some pointers here, guys.
