[McWolf]

Hi Mc Wolf - I mentioned in another thread that Avala's planeshine mod gives a great effect to aircraft skins and canopies but unfortunately makes some Mat Manager markings look a bit too shiny. They no longer blend in perfectly with the skins.

I assume this is because Aces (Leigh) used your lighting parameters in his mats and the two effects overlayered don't look quite right. This could be remedied by editing Mat Manager's files but it's a big job and I don't know how to do it.

I was kind of hoping you could liaise with Avala to arrive at a solution - presumably the mats can be edited simply as a batch?

Hi Username
In my previous setting discussed with Leigh, it should be difference, the below is mine for default without mod, I am not sure what Leigh use for his works now. If you wish edit, it can be edited with Notepad++, replace these parts, at the bottom line of mat file, it indicated the texture file. My NewMat has new symbol folder, you will find a fold Emblems. If someone know where the default texture are, then we can replace all with new correct colored and sized one.

[LightParams]
Ambient 0.85
Diffuse 0.9
Specular 0.5
SpecularPow 6
Shine 0.0
..
TextureName ../Emblems/1_JG1.tga

with Avala's great shine mod and my little NewMat mod, IL2 looks really very nice, As I said in UBI forum before, it should be done by Oleg's team, it's more easier for them to set all output mat file with these new shine effect:lol:
