But in AFPD they reflect like a well polished automobile. A good friend (Dieter!) suggested these settings, and they help, but it stil doesn't get the finish to completely flat: 

ambient 0.50 0.50 0.50

That helps some, but there is still a lot of shine on all panels.

Tim, there are two ways if you are going to use AFPD. I know nothing of EasyFly.
 
1. You can set the SHINY parameter in the sub-segment of the TMG that corresponds to the component you wish to shine/flat. e.g.
        Append tmgeometricobject Leftwheel
        cd Leftwheel/
        Geometry( "aircraft/HobbiStar60/HobbiStar60.obj", "Leftwheel" )
        Shiny = 0.00
        cd ../
But you will need to understand the structure of the TMG file.
 
2. The better way is to use the Material Property window of Metasequoia. This gives you much more control over the whole range of effects. See the enclosed image.
But you will need to be fluent in the use of Metasequoia and have the ability to use the 'mqo_to_afp.exe' program to produce an AFPD data set.
 
If you can wait a couple of days, I can send you an AFPD data set for your aircraft.
 
Best wishes
Mike
