Thanks to all - I have what I need now.
ZSwobbie - I didn't know someone had already done an FSX version; It won't be the Alphasim one as that was never freeware.

Thanks Henk. I'd already started experimenting with importer settings but got nowhere so many many thanks again.

Many thanks for clearing that up DB. That is weird and a bit freaky. How did they do that?? Those models must exist somewhere. It's only a guess but they may have a different LOD value to the main...
Thanks both. I can see I'm going to have to find/make something suitable! Mind you, I haven't tried it in FS2004 - not currently loaded here. Meanwhile, if anyone wants to try and post a screenshot...
I'm working on a personal project to update the TSR-2 for P3Dv5; I have useable external and internal models but I'm a bit puzzled that the fictional ones don't have weapons, though they should have...
......but they shouldn't have to!
Just sayin':biggrin-new:
I've sent you a PM with a link to two .dds conversion tools; they're very old but might do the trick. My methodology for making bump maps in Photoshop exactly mirrors yours so no issues there, though...
Hi Steve. Like you I've done this many times but I use the the Nvidia plug-in in Photoshop, so I can only offer limited help, and, in any case, you're much better than I am at this!
It looks to...
Hi Daniel,
For what it's worth, the visuals of MSFS are stunning but I've found it difficult to set up sufficiently well to attempt carrier ops, even with Rob's very docile Banshee. For me it's a...
Thanks Richard; hope you're well too. Sorry, the Scorpion is copyright to Virtavia and conversion well beyond my limited talents. Like others the F-5 is much anticipated but it would be nice if...
There was never much interest in the Thud for FSX, never mind MSFS. It's all about what will turn a profit. Virtavia are the only outfit regularly turning out left-field stuff. My current project is...
And to you Ed. And a Merry Christmas to all here from me too!:santahat::santahat:

Best wishes Ed. Hope all goes well for you.

Yes, red is the metallic channel; with your set up green should be white (no AO) and blue should be black.

A new entry has been added to Add-Ons Library, category P3D / P4D Add-Ons - Paint kits and utilities
Description: This is a tutorial in .pdf format, on how to convert an FSX model into one that...
I've put a tutorial in the library just now.

Please remember all conversions are personal and cannot be...
I'll do one. I've been at it since P3Dv4.4 in 2018! It'll take a few days. The main challenges are not in the MCX materials conversion but in constructing the metallic textures. You need a painting...
Here's an interesting one. I prefer v5.3 personally. It seems to more accurately render natural metal to me. This is the John Terrell's P-51B converted (still a wip) in v5.3 and 6. Roughly the same...
That would be brilliant!!:ernaehrung004: A lovely old girl that still looks so beautiful. Bit like the wife.....:adoration:!!

In truth the old alpha channel method of putting shine on metal (or paint for that matter) just doesn't work in P3D v4.4+. The only answer for metal is PBR. This is why I've spent much of the last 5...
I absolutely knew it had to be some age-related stupidity!!:banghead::banghead:
Thanks Dave - all good now. And thanks everyone for your help. And patience....!

I've searched the whole rig twice and can only find the one. Whether it exists as a line in a register entry or some such I don't know.
Thanks. No, the aircraft are not available. Will try again in the morning.
I bought MSFS finally a few weeks ago and managed to load Rob Richardson's Banshee and Cougar into the Community folder and all went well. But I found the MSFS experience a PITA so uninstalled it...
Bought MSFS about 2 weeks ago - finally. And v6 this week. Uninstalled MSFS this morning - lovely scenery but everything else too much PITA!! This is John Terrell's F-51D converted to PBR in v6, and...
