I still have a few things to fix but when I saw the results of the alpha channel mod, I had to stop and take some shots.

Thanks for looking.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

They may, I don't know. That might be why it looked so dull before. But dirt has a point. IMRON can make anything look good. Grin

Maybe it's not realistic, but I like it. I have the originals and plenty of other aircraft that look more realistic. Besides, I just like shiney. Grin

Maybe not, but I can see/hear the wheels turning. Grin

Thanks luni. Been missing your presence in freeware, but I understand.

If you mean an addon to the sim to get the shiney look, none, although Real Environment Pro does tend to enhance shiney objects. I repainted the Maule and edited the alpha channel to make it shiney. I'm not sure, but I think you have to have written permission to upload repaints on the Maule. Have to check the readme again. But if I can, I will upload it when finished. Then you can download it.

Thanks, I learned something new. I did not know any modern aircraft were still using covering, except maybe for experimental. So my Maule is no longer realistic. But it is shiney.

Yes it is. Lots of guys tried Imron either after a recover or just fresh paint but it requires much more prep than butyrate dope and doesn't like super cold temps. Very difficult to patch but, initially, looks just like your Maule.
