slowly I've been updating these past couple of months the skins specular template - one a day biggrin

the last few are done

they were batch uploaded so there is no change in the download pages, you can find mine among many others here:

the skins are the same - but they work now in 1.5 and 2.0 and reflect correctly.

Tom, new maps are cool, though maybe "If it ain't broken, don't fix it" rule would yield better results. Too squeaky clean for my taste - most of superior weathering detail was lost with them, sadly, so in the end I'll revert to previous version. That's subjective matter obviously, some might prefer the new, airshow-polished look. However, there's one "objective" glitch, which batch-uploaded to all of them biggrin - there's a reflective spec-layer on propeller blades! Unlike in the old version where they're painted flat black as intended.

the weathering suffered because the model has a very strong specular reflection - maybe because they will swap the model later on ?

I'll upload a fix for the blades smile

Hi Tom - so with the batch update then skin page doesn't display a new update date?

I see on the page that they are version 3.1 - are they the latest versions?
