Manfred's C-47 with PBR

[jankees]

OK, I uploaded six paints, with variations in color and shinyness, I am looking forward to see if you like my attempts at controlling the PBR monster, so all feedback will be appreciated.

This looks great to me.

My last try was,to build a new metallic alpha from an inverted specular alpha channel.
I have also brighten a little bit the metallic rgb textures and the metall parts from the base textures.
and here the results.

Hi Jankees, great job with the PBR paints. I've only installed a couple so far but both have the same error in the cfg. The texture name in the cfg doesn't match the texture folder name. Easy enough to fix but may catch the unwary.

When I now try to download the Douglas_C47_P3D_45.ZIP I get a HTTP Error 404

Is this file available for download now?

I'm looking for some feedback here, I'm working on PBR textures for camouflaged aircraft.
Here's a few shots of one of my first attempts, what do you think? Too much? Too little? Too large? Any comments? and yes, those wingroots were my mistake..

oh, and what did you think of the earlier ones?

Jan-

Thank-you, I installed and am happily flighting her out of Homer this evening.

When she was first released many moons ago, I remember something about editing a specific file so that the nose as seen through the VC, would be the same color as the external model. Would you be able to point me in the right direction for this please? I want to re-familiarize myself with the old girl in preparation for the AH SP dropping.

Also, do you (or Manfred, Ted, Gordo, Nick, Yoyo) know of any further development pending? There are a few small items (one of which is the inop Anti Collision, another is reducing the size of the wingtip lighting) I would love to see rectified. I still cannot believe how much I enjoy this old girl, and remain obliged to the entire team.

Best- C

Does the awesome C-47 works with no issues in P3D5? Did anyone tried the installation in latest P3d?

Thanks

Hi there (and happy flighting).

That nose texture file is called noseout.dds and it's located in the local texture\ folder.

[Edited]No anti-collision/beacon light on this model. Perhaps add via aircraft.cfg?

Reducing the size of the wingtip nav lights: they look perfectly normal on my setup, but if they don't on yours, either a) edit textures lights.dds and lights_spec.dds by toning them down or b) make them fully black and set the usual nav lights via the aircraft.cfg.

I have heard that the PBR version crashes in v5, probably due to a materials conflict. This Dak has a mix of PBR and FSX materials, which works fine in 4.5 but apparently not in v5.

No further development is planned at my end. Model is getting long in the tooth.

I am getting reports that the PBR Dak doesn't fly in v5, and sometimes even crashes it. The older FSX version seems to be OK. That's logic for you.

Edit, another report says if you rename file panel\windshield.dll it might work....

Manfred- before anything else, thank-you! Your creations (not just this one) have given so many, so much. In this case it has spawned unbelievable greatness!

So, to get the black nose, do I just fill the noseout.dds with black? I do have the nVidia plugin for PS6...

Not quite sure how to edit the lights but will research some more.

If there are others reading this with solutions (DLs in the SOH Library or elsewhere) to these problems, please chime in.

Hi Mandfred,

A2A says there "rain" mod does not work with P3V5, could this also be for your PBR version?

Important note! To avoid a CTD when loading a P3Dv4 Accu-Sim aircraft in P3Dv5, you must disable the "Windshield.dll" in the "Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\A2A\Gauges" folder. You can do this by simply renaming or removing the dll in question.

Regards,

Marcel

Thanks Marcel. Could well be that windshield.dll is the culprit. Hope so...
