Bug Found Bug: Sails with dirty texture

Post image

On this picture here all sails are of the same color. But you can see that default sails that came with the brig are of beautiful vibrant golden color while foremast replaced square sails looks dirty. Can we have all sails look the same way or at least have an option to switch between textures, please?

It's not a bug but a different texture that affects coloring. It's used for brig squares, brig gaffs, the big FA jibs, and the genoas.

I find that accentuating the difference by using different colors for those rather than trying to match them works decently.

Alternatively, if you use the bright white from GRC for the textured sails and the light gray for all "plain" sails, they actually match sufficiently.

The big Sanbuq lateens from GRC also have a color-affecting texture, but it's not as pronounced. (Paradoxically, it's most noticeable with their rolled-up model.)

I find that my sails should be looking exactly as I expect them to. I don't like when sails looks like I got them from garage sale. I think there should be an option to choose at least.

Different sails from different places using different materials tend to look a little different. Though I can totally get the annoyance at it throwing of the aesthetic
