Alabeo Staggerwing vc repaint without the yoke shadows

Has this been done by anyone, please? Why on earth did they put a yoke shadow on the panel??!!
Many thanks

Hi
There's a file to change that "staggerwing no yoke shadow.zip" to eliminate the shadow if you want. Can´t remember where I got it or the author. Can send it to you if you PM me think it would be legal...
Think the yoke shadow has to do with model, not with repaints. Removed mine anda works with all repaints.

Cheers
 
As I recall, it's not that it's supposed to be a shadow, but rather it's supposed to be the "reflection" of the yoke on the "glossy" panel (you'll note too that the seats are "reflected" in the panel as are the braces/posts).
 
The 'shadow' put me off the aeroplane after I first saw it and from that day deleted it from my virtual hangar. If there is a fix, I would love to know as perhaps in the future would reload the design into my sim. Having a few hours behind the real thing, I was really looking forward to this, but now maybe it's time to give it a second chance.

Many thanks,

Martin
 
Firekitten and Ron Attwood both produced a vc texture file minus the yoke shadow. If neither of them show up here I'll attach the texture to a post.

Roger,

Many thanks, but a friend of mine sent me the relevant file this morning. Wasn't quite sure where it had to go, but found out by looking in the texture folders first! Got there in the end!

Now, re-installed and hoping to beat my real life time in the days ahead. Currently off work awaiting work on my shoulder so should have some sim time soon. Now got to see if can find a repaint for G-BRVE, the Staggerwing I used to fly in.

This is what SOH is all about. Helping one another when problems arise!

Many thanks,

Martin

Not sure how to do it here and unsure of the legalities, but if anyone wants a copy of the file I have, please by all means PM me and I'll email it over.

I put the replacement file in the texture.common (hope that was right place for it). Now I am wondering where the yoke shadow was. Your panel looks lighter then mine which is a bit darker

I don't currently have the Alabeo Staggerwing, although I played with the file Ron has a bit.
I'll upload sometime soon.

Pay no attention to the backwards lettering as it does not affect the file I created. :a1310:
