It's a bit sad when both come from the same organization.

it is nice when a template is well laid out - makes everything so much easier the B-17 is a nice template on the positive side - anyone trying to edit the Spitfire template will improve his/her Photoshop skills a lot by the way - the C-130 template zip file is broken

Tom, thanks for your great work!... just wanted to make you a question... do you know why the changes I make to the external fuel tanks specular file are not working in game?... Of course Im using the edited file in the correct place (both default texture folder for the m2000 and especifically in some skins with custom textures for the tanks speculars) but doesnt change anything... for example the body speculars are working fine... Im talking about 2.1.1...its like dcs is ignoring the file? ¿? ¿
thanks!

Thanks !!! did you add this to the description.lua ? {"ext6", 0 ,"M2KC_6T",false}; {"ext6", 2 ,"M2KC_6Specular",false};
the range for the specular template is very narrow - so that may be why you don't get noticeable effects when editing it

Yes Tom, I did it, also I tried using pure white in all RGB channels and nothing...tanks look absolutelly indentical (dead matt)...using edm extractor, I found that the entry {"ext6", 2 ,"M2KC_6Specular",true}; doesnt exist in ANY edm file so I wonder if thats the problem?? the file is just ignored...I tried even deleting the specular texture and the plane looks the same so...
Only --{"ext6", 0, "m2kc_6t", true}; and --{"ext6", 1, "m2kc_6t_bump", true}; are present in both the fuel tanks models and the plane model but nothing else, nothing about the M2KC_6Specular...is it possible to make a new entry in the edm file to add this line??

I have no problem to make the skins look more reflective instead of the atrocious matt look the m2000 has always had: but those tanks are KILLING me I think that if there is no way to fix this, then its a clear bug because the specular file for the tanks is there, made by razbam, so obviously is an issue...the incredible thing is how they ignored/didnt were awared of this after so many years??(and its not only afecting the tanks but also pylons and other stuff ) Also, is there any way to add the file in DCS?? in the edm or whatever?? thanks!!
