George,
I believe Smoothie is right.
In actuality, there are so many darn settings in the model's Gmax 'Material Editor' that I can only say that I 'HOPE' that it is tuneable in the Specular Map 'Alpha' channel.
If not, its hard coded in due to adjustments to sliders in Gmax.
I hope that is not the case.
I am still a bit green and still learn new things on FSX model creation. The textures are quite sophisticated as to how they work and they still get the best of me.

Thanks Smoothie and Lionheart. I have played around with the alpha and specular maps, but the reflectivity remains, so it must have something to do with the Gmax Material Editor's settings. It's no big deal, really, as it's not like the aircraft comes out extremely shiny. I just hoped to tune it down a bit for the 'flat' paint job.
Thanks for the information and assistance, I really appreciate it.

Hi all,
Well I finally got around to finishing the Central Florida Air Services paints, after taking a short break to work on another paint that was requested.
The paint comes in three versions, passenger, passenger with pod, and amphibian. All three share the same base paint, though they each have a unique registration number and nose art. I just finished submitting them here and at FlightSim, so they should be available for download within the next few days or so.
Here's a few screenshots to whet your appetites.

George,
That should be the stock Spec map. Give me a while and I'll look through them and get back with you on which one it is.
I didnt know you were just trying to adjust the shiny-ness of it.
The paint scheme came out really nice. Well done. Love the orange on the floats.
Bill
Thanks, Lionheart. The floats were the hardest part for me, as I had to dig around to find which file they were in, and then I had to try and figure out how to remove the details so I could overlay them the way the details and lines are layered in the files in the paint kit. Fortunately, that led me to the seats, which I also modified to match this paint.
For the shiny-ness, I just wanted to back it down just a touch on this paint, but was also going for an almost 'flat' paint (very little to no reflectivity at all) for the Special Forces paint I finished earlier this week.
I'm happy I got the CFAS set of paints done. Now I'm just looking forward to hearing what folks think of the nose-art and slogans. I tried to come up with something catchy for each one, so I'll have to wait for the comments to see if they're as witty as I hope they are.
