I have just noticed something when parking at (UK2000 Xtreme) EGNX East Midlands Airport. I have recently added a new Jet2 schedule (with the new fleet of FAIB paints for the airline), and I noticed that the three Jet2 planes at the airport all seemed to be very dark (much darker grey than they should be). I was about to check this out.....and then the airport lights switched off (because it was early morning, and the Sun was rising). I was looking at one of the Jet2 planes when this happened, and the grey colour on the fuselage instantly changed to a much lighter (and more realistic) shade.

 

I have never noticed this before. Is this an issue with P3D, the UK2000 Xtreme airport lighting, or maybe the FAIB aircraft model itself? To be honest, I have noticed that some FAIB planes do not have a lightmap texture included. Do they need them? If so, why aren't they included in the download package??

 

A quick check revealed that two of the five FAIB Jet2 737-800s did not have lightmaps in the texture folder. I have corrected this, so hopefully it will solve the issue.
