Apply specular mapping to the existing DCS World model of the F16

[komemiute]

Hey @SkateZilla, I’m awfully sorry to bother you…
I need the littlest help.
If I wanted to apply specular mapping to the existing DCS World model of the F16, how would I do so, in the Description.lua?

EDIT: Right now the F16 in DCS has only the textures and in the new lighting engine it looks like totally plasticy… if I could apply even simple specular textures (I’ve got them ready, already) it’d improve dramatically.

DCSW Default F-16 model is old and does not have a Specular Map Applied in 3DS Max.

make Backup of the Original JSON File First (in same folder as EDM)

You rang?

JSON

Basically it is a human readable file format that is widely used in IT to exchange and to a lesser extent store information.
