PMDG B737 some texture issues - anyone else seeing these??

Featured Replies

Hi fellow sim pilots ... I am loving the new PMDG B737, and take my hat off to the developers for the fabulous product they have given us.

However, I am not getting much joy in the PMDG forum over some issues I have seen when my completed repaints are applied to the aircraft, and which I later discovered are also present in the default liveries and every other add-on I have tried.  The screen shots below highlight some of those issues.  The PMDG response from their paint department was that no such issues occur with the PMDG default liveries.  On my system they do, as you can see.  Is this a universal problem, or is there possibly something I don't have correctly set up with my system (graphics card or software)?

The issues I have identified are around the engines/belly, which just happen to all be in the same texture file:

* engines have shading both top and bottom that is defined by sharp boundaries rather than smooth gradients, more obvious in some lighting conditions and cowling colours than others;

* engines have some shading reversed - lighter where it should be darker and vice versa;

* engines have massive blurring on the fuselage side of the cowling in some lighting conditions;

* engine decals are not correctly shaded and look extremely bright when that side of the engine is in shade;

* belly shading also has sharply defined lines and is much darker than expected - again more evident with lighter colours and some lighting conditions;

* belly textures are also very blurred in some conditions.

 

The following images illustrate the above issues.  Any suggestions would be welcomed.  TIA.

No, sorry, i cannot say i do. Maybe ask on the PMDG forum. I am sure they would help with any issues you seem to have found.

As said above, I got denial from PMDG forum moderators and no suggestions to help, so I'm wondering if it is something in my system setup.  But clearly there are other people seeing the same things.
