F28-3000: Black Wingtips in Low Light / Hangar
-
@Martyn
No worries, I’m quite sure you’re busy on greater things.
In the interim I have decided to remove all 28 of my F28 liveries until I’ve been able to establish the cause of those irritating low light black wingtips. I don’t want end users thinking there’s an issue with my liveries that I can’t fix.
If only I knew another willing and able F28 owner as it would take them but a moment to help answer my question. -

Just Flight support should be able to help. There is a link at www.justflight.com

Martyn of Just Flight was previously engaged with this topic, but he appears to have departed from it; am I to guess whether he has entirely disengaged for me to instead raise a formal support request?
For something so simple, not an ideal situation, I'll instead sit it out.
Out of interest, could you check? -

Out of interest, could you check?Martyn's not about at the moment. As I say, your best bet would be to raise a ticket with support and they can always forward it to him if they get stuck.

I cannot imagine why Just Flight’s own support team would get stuck watching my one minute video, downloading a few -3000 liveries, and then looking at a few repaints during day/dusk.
Anyway, it’s good to know that support are easily in touch with Martyn even when he’s away.
However, I feel ambivalent about contacting JF support directly when (A) I’ve just been left hanging in this thread, and (B) this thread is already known to JF.
In the interim, I have the refreshed BAe146 to enjoy. That said, I noticed a reportable issue during a LNAV DME/ARC to an ILS involving spurious DME readings on the HSI, but that I will leave to another day.

@fab10 Do you see any difference if you copy the 'F28_l_wing_comp.png' and 'F28_r_wing_comp.png' textures found in the \Just Flight Fokker F28-4000\texture\ and paste them into the \Just Flight Fokker F28-3000\texture\ folder, overwriting the existing files?

I noted some time ago that the -3000 appears to have missing files when I first started repainting the F28, for instance with wing and cargo compartment issues.
Here's a dir of the -3000 texture folder as it stands in my new installation, here shown without the R wing files.
Before I overwrite anything, I thought it best to report this, and that I'd only be overwriting L wing textures as the -4000 has both L and R files.Mode LastWriteTime Length Name

It is definitely to do with the "texture.cfg" file within the texture folder itself.
A rather lovely Cimber Air new F28-3000 livery that was uploaded yesterday does not exhibit this issue.
I checked the texture.cfg from this livery and found it to be different to the one I had been using, and by copying the texture.cfg file into my own liveries, the low-light level lack wingtips stopped immediately even after reloading in-sim.
Problem solved, now I must refit my -3000 liveries with this texture.cfg, the origin of which is likely to have been from (a) another user livery which I often use as the folder/file structure, or (b) from a blank or bundled default livery from within the installed aircraft.
