Howdy,
I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it......(smile)...........but I do know where the problem is..... had the same issue with the nose vents. (I like the straight vents....not the holes.......hey...it's after midnight and I forget what the official name for that is. (smile.))
In the "main" texture folder, there is a file called p51d_t_bump. The tire textures in the bump map folder are "hatched" instead of smooth. (That's where the problem is.....hopefully, Scott or someone other than a paint slinger like me can do a better fix.)
I copied the file......opened up my Photoshop and just removed the tire bump from the texture sheet. (You'll have to do the alpha channel also.)
When your finished........save the file to your Glamorous Gal texture folder (texture.Glamorous Gal) and your finished. (Currently in your texture.Glamorous Gal folder there should be 4 files. p51d_t.dds, p51d_t_spec.dds, texture.cfg & the Thumbnail.) When your finished, you will have added the edited file, P51d_t_bump.dds)
The Bump Map is what gives your aircraft the appearance of raised rivets etc., etc., etc., so removing the texture for the tire hatch, your tires will no longer have that effect., however, for me, that wasn't a big deal seeing how the tires are smooth pretty much anyway.
Eventually, I'll get around to making a new bump map texture....the edit more appropriately, however, for now, it will do.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
