Hi Guys,
I've just installed the L39, and it looks very good.
The model is looking for a texture called DDS (no extension) - is it OK use a dummy texture instead?
Cheers
Found a bit of 'legit' 'nose-art' [though it's on the fin]...and where I'm at with other text/details ...
Sounds like a dodgy download.. and something's 'missing', though there shouldn't be an error-call for a 'dds'...that's a file suffix.
Meanwhile, I think I'm happy with the metal...alphas and spec. Can't find [as yet] some clean 'albatros' text for the tip tanks [or its font], and am still hanging out for Matt's notes details. Then I'll be able to churn out some hi-res paints..
Finally got around to trying the update. Great job Bjoern! A fantastic update to a classic FS2004 design. Many thanks!!!
Cheers,
Dave

Tweaked my metal finishes....still hanging out for Matt's text details...
I do have to say that the TB paint does look better on bare metal...and the L-39.
Getting a white painted finish to look 'right' is harder than the metal. I have a feeling 255,255,255 doesn't behave will in spec...possibly needs to be a bit off-white...
Needless to say the weather clouded over and got me on the wrong track...
Pure black or white is always problematic with spec maps (that's why I never use it as a base color for fuselages). Try 235, 235, 235.
Matt is still working on the default liveries and decals, right?
Found a 'minor' issue with the model [using the bump/spec one, of course]...
Seems the L39 is not an all-weather aircraft. When it rains the canopy is a not very translucent green from the outside....and a totally black non transparent from the VC.
Climbing out of the rain cures it...
Don't worry.. the payware Nemeth BK117 is the same At least the L39 is free

This is a known problem and there is a fix for it over at Flight1 in their free downloads section.
