Howard 350 - strange texture issue

Not sure it looked like this before. Running P3Dv4.5 with HDR lighting - that may have something to do with it. Have messed around with alpha textures. Also appears on the rear part of the nacelles as well as the flaps.

expat,

RE: flaps - for whatever reason, the bottom of those flaps are mapped to the top of the wing, and the flaps_t bmp does not have a spec or bump map like the rest of the wing, and therefore contains no assigned Fresnel ramp. That may answer that question.

RE: Spinners - everything looks fine there in the modeled material/texture assignments. You may be able to adjust that by modifying the spinner_t_spec.bmp. Not sure though.

Just to follow up, in the end it was a tweak necessary to the shaders programme I use (freeware "tomatoshade" - it's great) that solved the texture issue. Had to turn off the app applying to the aircraft, but leave it working for the land and sky which still makes a huge difference in P3Dv4.

Just to add that the cabin lighting on this ship looks great when viewed from the outside at night!
