Has anyone figured out ...............

. how to get a polished metal layer out of these templates?

You can try the color Magenta or orange. Possibly all white. Try those three colors..... But you need to do it on the normals layer if there is one. You can try on alpha but I'm not sure it will work.

Normals layer means not visible for others since the normal isnt part of the dds dxt5 right?

The planes ingame don't have normal maps. They use a mix of Bump mapping + alpha texture for creatign shine and gloss effects ingame (bump maps are not part of the usual skins and not officially up for modification).

 

The answer unfortunately is no, you can't. The closest you can get is colouring shiny party with about 50% brightness grey on the alpha channel to make it a little more glossy than the standard textures, not much more though.
