Hey Gustavo.....wonderful job on all the repaints! I've noticed a small part on the tail ....especially ones with a dark tail. The part in question is on the AS_A333_EXT_TAILFIN_A.dds map and is right here: I'm sure you have your own method, but in the spirit of sharing I thought I'd show you how I do this which is to turn on the UV UNWRAP layer to see the model line boundaries....it really helps seeing the green lines denoting where the boundaries are. Keep up the great work painting...and for goodness sake leave some liveries for the rest of us to paint! LoL!!! -

Valid observations but what you're actually seeing is a Lufthansa gray color that is even a little darker than the official gray....the real problem is with the shadow channel on the PBR-Metalllic texture map. So as pics are worth a thousand words... On the metallic texture map...the GREEN channel controls the amount of shadow intensity..... On the map above, you can see I applied a gradient fill on the left side of the bottom of the nose on the GREEN channel.....while there is a gradient on the other side...it is very slight.... Here is the effect on the plane in the sim..... Right side has the change, the left side does not..... I did not alter the paint one bit.....this just shows you the power and flexibility we have with the new PBR textures! So what I need to do to properly fix this issue is alter the GREEN channel of the PBR map. The effect you see in the pic above is way too pronounced as the bottom is almost black at the apex of the bottom point as you can clearly see. This will take time to correct (because I have 4 texture maps to sync this effect to...not just one)...and I'll have to eventually add it to all my paints. If you set yourself up to follow to this page, you'll know when I make the update and post it. No timeline for it...its a good bit of trial and error to get it looking just right. Painting used to be fairly easy before PBR....you "painted" the shadows on the bottom and you were done....not any more...you're actually painting 2 whole planes when you have to edit the PBR maps as well as the Albeo maps. Hehe...I guess if it were easy everyone would be painting. -
