• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Does anyone know of any tutorials out there that show how to make repaints/skins for P3D v4.5 models with PBR texturing? The ones I've found so far are dealing with how to set up the materials recipe in the modelling program and all I want to do is learn how to make repaint textures for an already released model that has all the material requirements burnt into the model. It used to be a case of grab a paint kit for the aircraft and start painting but things are a lot more complicated now!
 
SOH has a P3Dv4.4+ PBR tutorial by Dave Quincey:

P3D4.4+ PBR Conversion Tutorial

This is a tutorial in .pdf format, on how to convert an FSX model into one that supports PBR textures for use in P3Dv4.4 and upwards. It shows how to alter the material properties with ModelConverterX, and how to create metallic files for...

Thanks Henk, I just happened to come across that file a few minutes ago and immediately read it. It is going to be very useful for future projects. It might even motivate me to update all the FSX aircraft I've released to P3D v4.5 standards! It doesn't seem that difficult and the process is well explained.
