why do some paint scheme's have a salt water scoop and what does it look like

TinyBeard

@aidyj88 I believe those are all paint schemes that were originally created for HydroMod and the salt water scoop was included in that game. Currently we don't have a salt water scoop in HydroSim but I'm sure it will get added eventually. The scoops themselves are just extensions to the air intake on the cowling that they generally only use during salt water races (like San Diego) to help keep the salt water out of the engine.

@A_Thurston12 Just made a quick update to make it more of a Matt finish since I didn't like the glossy sheen.

I use photopea to do boats sometimes and i was wondering how do you make the boat color a matte?

TinyBeard

@gavin-mcclure You have to make separate Hull, Cowling, and Cockpit files for a metallic or matte effect; Hull_met, Cowling_met, and Cockpit_met. Any area that you want to be chrome, make it white, and for areas that you want matte, make it black. You can use various shades of gray to achieve different levels of shine. The lighter it is, the shinier it will be, the darker it is, the more matte it will be. Then you have to save the metallic files as a different kind of DDS file (DXT5).You can message me on Discord if you need help
