OT Anyone know about FSX Skinning?
UK_Widowmaker replied to UK_Widowmaker's topic in WOFF UE/PE - General Discussion
Thanks Olham, that would be helpful The main difference appears to be the Specular textures that FSX uses, and having to add info to the Aircraft.cfg file. Have tried to save as DDS and BMP so far...with equally depressing results! FSX skins are beautiful to look at...but my goodness...difficult to work with. I will email you a texture folder to look at a bit later m8!...thanks -
