I thought I'd share a bit of video I did illustrating the feasibility of converting existing models to Prepar3Dv4.5 PBR. The process is pretty straight forward and produces amazing results.
The chosen project was the Manfred Jahn Boeing B-50. I converted the model, added some modeling refinements, re-created the Photoshop textures including a full set of normal maps and metallic texture layers. For my project I aliased the Virtavia Boeing B-29 VC, creating a very enjoyable model. I cannot, of course, publish a model from another author, so please don't ask. If MJ and team were to decide to re-publish the model for PBR, my files would be a straight up plug in.
Seeing as we all have quality time to reflect at home for the indefinite future, it might be worthwhile to explore the learning process for converting any existing model to PBR.
It's well worth the investment...IMHO.
