The settings I'm using now now are Environment 8 (may go back to 7, still deciding), Glossiness 5. Additionally I lighten or darken the speculars until they are about 40 40 40 to 50 50 50 overall RGB value. In the model, I hex edit to ensure the specular settings are E5 E5 E5 FF / 00 00 00 42.

Thanks for this! I only changed Environment to 7 but will be using these settings from now on!

I also don't trust the color of paint and/or placement of markings on restored aircraft. I have seen too many inaccuracies in my time and I try to rely on period photos if going for an historic scheme..
 
1930s Stuff

Been reviewing my airfield objects, Some are OK, some need finishing, and some need upgrades. All need conversion to .dds format. Good practice for converting Max models to Gmax.

yum, what a very very nicely looking 3d assets library! I like the mix-up of a the low / mid poly objects at the scene, its my favorite approach too (a few samples here).

love to see such kind of stuff as some cfs3 scenery (or another flight sim... or another game globaly).
 
@wiekniera: outstanding looking images, mate!

still, if we would take it all "as photorealistic close as it gets", I would prefer the visual settings similar to what geckos latest images presents ;)
note: Ive noticed pilot figures at some of your shots may be less specular, actually they should be matt material, but I am not sure, if this can be fixed somehow simply.
 
@Boreks
Thanks mate !, I think gecko did a good job, he had his own cfs3 settings, aircraft texture editing and the shader config might be different from me.
i use sweetfx+reshade+framework with my own presets and i did decrease the glossiness and sun reflection which i think it's give the pilot looks less specular...i think it's good to see different settings with different results...guess only few ppl post their shots here so it's not much we can see others setup as reference



 
I'm finishing an FPS mod that requires very specific graphics settings. When done, I can revert to normal settings and install WOFF to use as a test platform for my 1938 mod concept. Meanwhile, I continue to work on models - Arado68E and Gloster Gauntlet shown below.
