@Jummivana - hey Jayne, this thread needs your attention. As you can see, there are fair negative comments about the texture mappings again. No, not for deletion or other nasty things. Seriously, you really need to get the aircraft developers and OEM painters in your hire thinking about liveries…

That door “double mapping” for instance really kills this aircraft for us painters - there are scale issues and mirroring issues - paint a logo over the door and it is about half scale on the mirror. That kills all WWII German paints as well as those like Marius’ D-AQUI (incidentally - I plane I have often seen over Hamburg)

The model really is drop dead georgeous, but repaint limited.

@FliegerMarius - I have just discovered another thread that should help us a lot

Take a look

It actually means a lot of new tricks to learn, but looks like exactly what we need.

Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it?

no

Which aircraft are you reporting an issue about? (Please also add the proper tag for it)

T-6 Texan

Brief description of the issue:

mirrored textures below left wing

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

wing by JanKees Blom, on Flickr

The flap texture on the underside of the left wing of the T6 is mirrored from the front of the wing (areas outlined in yellow in screenshot), making certain repaints impossible to do correctly. Oddly enough, the right wings does not have this problem, and both left and right wing texture files do have the flap textures present, it’s just that the left wing does not use it.
An update to the T-6, correcting this problem, would be appreciated immensely
