andrewd251 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 is there any way to fix the way some user skins are displayed, there seems to be an issue with a lot of them not showing correctly. a similar issue with the Huey and mi 8 skins can be solved by changing some of the file names, is this possible with the sabre.

==Wiggy== Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Nope. The usermade skins, if they seem like there's a ghosting effect of another paint behind the one you're using that is a default USAF, it's because the Sabre went from using SPEC files to RoughMets in the last update. This is.actually really great and kudos to ED for doing it. But the drawback is that if the usermade skins used a custom SPEC file they will need to be updated to use a custom RoughMet. I'm in the process of updating mine but it's a time consuming process. It doesn't just switch over. So For my paints, I'm taking the opportunity to make updates to them while I work through the list. Others would need to do similar to their paints. I have 3 done so.far.

Akatsuki Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 The MiG-15 received the Roughmet treatment as well. Rick, would you consider doing JASDF liveries for the Sabre? Please. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
==Wiggy== Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Akatsuki, If there's only one you could have (not a demonstration team paint) which would it be? No promises, but I'm interested. Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skwinty Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I'm devastated!! None of my SAAF skins are any good. Please point me in the direction of what I need to learn to fix this problem.

Awesome! 8th Squadron. Later Sabre were painted in grey and i could not find pictures of 8th sq in bare metal, so, here's a pic of a model kit. That scheme would be nice. Also added a close up of the squadron emblem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skwinty Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 This is what the SAAF skin looked like with the spec file. Will there be a marked improvement in appearance with roughmet? Is the default Sabre skin roughmet? That one looks like there is oil leaking from all the seams, or am I missing the point.:smilewink: Intel® Core™ i7-8750H Processor 15.6-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS Anti-Glare LED-Backlit Display 16GB, 2x8GB, DDR4, 2666MHz 128GB SSD + 1TB 5400 RPM Hard Drive NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 Windows 10 Home 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
==Wiggy== Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) I'll be updating all my paints. Including both SAAF paints. You don't have a choice in not using the RoughMet. Unless you don't upgrade to DCS v2.5.5. my goal is make it look close to my old ones and improve anything I can along the way, since I'm using custom RoughMet textures. Coloring must be changed slighy to get the correct appearance compared to the SPEC files.

Skwinty Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 Thanks 000rick000, I cant wait. I hope the other SAAF skins I have will also be updated. I take a lot of Sabre and Mustang SAAF pics and post them for the ex F86 and P51 pilots who served in the SAAF. Not too many left now.

Squiffy Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 In a maybe related question... does anyone know why the MiG-15 would be doing this after ejection? I am getting weird fractal ray like patterns from the cockpit after the canopy is jettisoned. External view of AI planes. Was fine before update that included rough met skins. The rays move around front and back kind of in a conical pattern from the one splinter point. Maybe it's my nVidia set up and game graphics settings but it looks like something in the Open Beta engine. I didn't change anything in my settings that I recall. Not sure if it happens with other models but maybe so. Like the Dora. AI Sabres may do it too.

berk.kp Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Malaysian Skin Hi Guys. I've come across this issue too especially with the MiG-15. Both jets got their textures updated. If anyones interested, this motivated me to make my first livery for the F-86: Malaysian Air Force. It's up to 2.5.5 standard and coming soon to userfiles.

Nomad81 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Could anyone point me to some instructions on how to update a livery to roughmet, would be interested in updating the Matova Livery from the Relic campaign. | Callsign - NOMAD | i7-8700K Water Cooled | 32GB DDR4 3200 | Nvidia GTX 1080 TI Water Cooled | VKB Gunfighter Mk.II | Virpil MongoosT-50CM Throttle | Thrustmaster TPR Pedals |TrackIR Pro 5 | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarvK Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Unfortunately, I think the author of the skin would have to update it to the roughmet version. I believe it would be Apache600 or whoever did the Matova skin for him. I would also like the skin to be updated too, as I think this is an awesome campaign. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomad81 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 It would appear that the latest update today shows that the skin was updated, is anyone else still getting the ghosting effect on this livery? | Callsign - NOMAD | i7-8700K Water Cooled | 32GB DDR4 3200 | Nvidia GTX 1080 TI Water Cooled | VKB Gunfighter Mk.II | Virpil MongoosT-50CM Throttle | Thrustmaster TPR Pedals |TrackIR Pro 5 | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
