Help with Carenado B58 repaint project

[HawkDsl 50]

Hi all.

 

I'm doing a flame paint on a Baron 58. On the RIGHT engine (co-pilot side), there is a large square'ish box that has the name plates applied from two files; "Tinted.bmp" and "Winb58.bmp"... However, I can't match this box area with any of the spec, bump, or alpha channels from any file. It blocks that section of the engine nacelle... right over flames i want there.

 

Anyone know how I can get rid of that??

Hi

 

The texture sheet with the nacelle part that you are looking or is named CARexterior_E2.bmp, the section of the texture sheet below should show the location of it, and the spec, bump and alpha files will be the one for that texture sheet, I hope it is of some use.

Thanks again for the help. Why the f!%k they put that panel there is a mystery. I couldn't get ride of it, no matter what I did to all the alphas, specs, bmps, etc. So I spent hours moving the flames around until I matched it best I could (cutting/pasting original flames onto that section of the "mystery" panel in E2).

I have seen worse things when doing repaints, and it is all part of the wonderfull world of repainting, such a relaxing part of flight simming.
