    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...

    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...
