F/A-18C Lot 20 Liveries by SZGS

Just want to say "Thank You" to all,

VFA-103 1100+ Downloads in a Week.

But All together, the first Group of Liveries were downloaded 3664 Times as of this Post.

I'm guilty of running those stats up by a couple, the liveries are fantastic!

Just to note:

I do NOT give permission for my work to be used in part or in full to complete another user's work.

This includes using aspects of my work that are not included within the core template:

Stencils, Markings, Logo's or any other form of custom art.

I've already had to call out 5 people now, and it's getting rather disappointing to have to resort to such measures.

In each Case I can verify that my work was used because:

A. I Place within all my Liveries an Invisible Watermark, Watermark still in other users texture.

B. Items/Markings in Question were Custom Made by Me, and match up to the other user's Texture Pixel For Pixel

C. Custom Stencils Match Pixel for Pixels

D. Stencils that were changed from one format and had a custom skew angle applied match Pixel for Pixel.

It does not surprise me, these liveries of yours are very very nice! :thumbup:

once I finish some private liveries, I'll be back at it,

I also have some revisions to the current liveries to work on too.

Skate, love the work you've made.....

Can I make a "skin" default for a plane, or is it by mission only?

Kind regards

Just wanted to let everyone know,

once I finish up some private liveries, I'll be going back and Re-working ALL of my Released Liveries, I made some core changes to the template while working on the private liveries (Virtual Squads, Aerobatic Teams, Websites Etc). I want to integrate these changes into my past liveries, as well as the new ones when I resume doing public Liveries.

when time permits.

That's good news. Thanks TC

Hi Skatezilla. Thanks for your skins.

I have a question that is not important / secondary :

Is it possible to use higher resolution skins in DCS ? (I think this is possible) or just a higher resolution for a small part of the skin (I think that is not possible) ?

I ask that because in VR, when you lean left or right for exemple to see result of bombing, you see the "wing" part of fuselage that come along to front of cockpit (I don't know the name - parts shown in picture). And this is low resolution from a cockpit point of view (cockpit is very high resolution for textures in comparaison).

You could, but the memory usage would skyrocket above 4096.

The LERX is the part you are talking about.

Right now my plan is:

Clean the Template, Re-Import the ED Stencils/Markings for Panels etc.

Restore Custom Stencils For Squadrons,

Replace more of the ED / Default Decals/Stencils w/ New Higher Resolution Stencils.

Re-Do the Spine / Nose Anti-Glare to more Accurately Align.

Clean Up all the Edges, Add Extra Decals not Part of ED's Template.

Once I finish re-doing the previous Liveries, I will start on some others.

Not Taking Requests, I have a list of ones I want to do, and I have to stencil out the artwork before I begin working on them.

OK thanks.

I tried with a 8192x8192 dds texture (moon) file to test but I think it don't really work because the sim seems to only pick up the resolution allocated to each part, and not 4 times bigger resolution.

(with the Rift, LERX's texture seems the same resolution than with a 4096x4096 file, and Vram / ram usage are the same with max 150mb difference)

Have a nice day !

I'm still re-exporting all the Liveries, hopefully this weekend they'll all be updated.

Changes as of 07.06.2018:

-Adjusted Nose and Spine Paints

-Adjusted Details and Dirt Layers

-New Ejection Seat Stencils

-New Canopy Rail and Fuselage Warning Stencils

-Adjusted Intake Stencils

-Added New Helmet Textures

Also, While I was re-doing parts of VFA-103, I went ahead and did VFA-84 Liveries.

Sorry for the Delay, I know I promised updated liveries on Saturday, I had some power problems and heat problems in my home this past weekend.

I'm almost done re-exporting them all. Then I just have to generate new marketing art.

Hi, Skate

I'm having problem with my spitfire skin livery, could you explain to me where and how to place spitfire skins in the save-game directory in-fact all skins so that they can be used in both the game and save-games plus show up for selection in either DCS World or DCS WORLD Openbeta. Thanks TC
