PBR textures - chrome like apperance

Featured Replies

Hi

Wondered if anyone can help.

I am using P3D v4.5 

On a number of my military aircraft when I load PBR textures the texture has a shiny, chrome like finish even for what are definitely intended to be matt camouflage or low observable finishes. Examples being the Indiafoxtecho F-35 and the SimSkunkworks F-104/G-91.

Grateful for any ideas

I have seen the same with the PBR textures on GSX's jetways.

Hopefully someone knows what's up.

Hello,

if I’m not mistaken it depends on reflections settings.

IIRC, turning off dynamic reflections will cure this until (hopefully) it's fixed in a P3D update.

- Try to reset all the shaders by removing this folder:

%LOCALAPPDATA\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d v4\Shaders

and wait a bit for them to be regenerated on the next startup

If that doesn't work, it's possible you have updated to P3D 4.5 using the Client only, and this is known to cause graphic issues depending which version you had before so, if the previous fix doesn't work, try to install the 4.5 Content too.

ok many thanks - will try these suggestions

Out of curiosity, could you post an image that shows what you mean? I personally don't remember seeing this issue at all...

Won’t this turn off pbr entirely?
