iVIPER21 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Hey everyone, go to www.lockonfiles.com and give my latest skin a try. From the readme: This is a skin set I made in order to make the runways look even better. It is based on real world satellite photos of different US airbases. Due to the limitations of LockOn, some of the markings are not 100% accurate. Before you ask, the yellow circles are for emergency arresting cables. Anyways, if you modify the texture set and release it, please be sure to credit me in your README text file. Do not use this set in a commercial product without my permission. If you don't like it, uninstall it ;) It is designed for 1.02 but should also work in 1.11 - if not then I'll make a release just for 1.11 :icon_jook :icon_supe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Rhodes Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Um, Viper JG, I didn't see where he said it was a new ideer. He just announced his release is all. It looks nice. No need to try and burst his bubble because he isn't the first to come out with this kind of MOD.

Necroscope Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Heh! I take Runway textures from iVIPER21 mod and all another textures from "Western Style Runways MOD" - Looks COOL! Thanks you all! SFME Всех убью, один останусь! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iVIPER21 Posted February 4, 2006 Author Share Posted February 4, 2006 No bursting occurred, I've been playing Lomac since the day it was released (and have been creating skins for it ever since). As such, I am well aware of the Western Runways mod and let me say that it is a beautiful skin set and original idea. I created my runway textures based on images of what US airbases (in roughly the same Latitude as the Crimean) looked like in the mid 80's - early 90's (the same time period as Lomac is supposedly set). The more choices for the community - the better! I've completed the taxiway textures and I am moving on to the parking textures etc. They will be included in the next release. Here are screens for you: My High Res C17 and reworked Elmendorf AFB Alaska F15 skin (not yet released) with new taxiways visible: :icon_jook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfit Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 Can you confirm whether this mod is compatible with 1.11FC? If not, do you plan to have a version that is? Thanks..... and it looks great to me ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iVIPER21 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 Misfit, Tested and comfirmed. I've had zero problems with it in 1.11 :icon_jook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt40Five Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I really like this! The western runways mod is great, but it just seemed to ...well, western for the theater. I like the look of this one. Dirty decks mod rocks too...thx! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brit_Radar_Dude Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Looks nice and a worthy companion to the Dirty Decks mod. iViper21 keeping real busy with skins lately......

iVIPER21 Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Thanks guys! Yeah I've been skinnin' a lot lately cuz I've been bored. My classes this semester are pretty easy - which means more free time for Lomac. I'm also working on a new website where I will host my skins - more on that when it is completed and online. I recently got a PM for Indian Air Force skins. I am working on finishing up the runway pack (to include taxiway, parking areas etc) so once I get finished with that, I hope to do a couple IAF skins. Oh and the other skin set I am working on is for the F-18 blue and desert camo aggressors (which are specially painted to resemble MiG29's). Lots of skins will be coming out over the next month or so. Brit - i'll send you an updated UN Skins zip in a few days. It's my B-Day tomorrow! Sushi and sake will be the order of the day! :icon_jook :icon_jook :icon_jook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt40Five Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Happy B'day! mmmm sushi rules.....If you ever run out of skins to make check out this Alabama ANG F-16 scheme (I'm partial...it's my home state) http://www.afa.org/magazine/Dec2005/1205tuskegee.pdf Those are the only pictures of it I could find. Keep up the good work! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iVIPER21 Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 Hey Colt, Is this what you had in mind? It was pretty easy to do, took about an hour total. The only possible drawback (if you have a slow system) is that it is a 2048x2048 high res texture. It came out way too blurry at the normal resolution of 1024. Hope ya like it! it's zipped into a LoMan file, you can download it here: www.airbornerockstar.com :icon_supe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colt40Five - No prob, glad you like it! Brit - Which German vehicle did you want for the skin pack? Email me. Alias - Now those are some words of encouragement if I've ever heard any! If you guys at the VBA need anything, just PM me and I will be glad to help out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Have you done all the runways on the map or only a particular sector? Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iVIPER21 Posted February 11, 2006 Author Share Posted February 11, 2006 Cougar, I don't think we have any control over which runways are affected because there is only one set of textures that all of the runways use. It would be cool if ED was able to have 2 sets of runway textures, one for the red side and one for the blue side - but as of right now, this option does not exist. I hope that answers your question.

Cougar Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Nah I was just wondering, I would need to relook it but arround sochi AF I saw the texture on but earlier I was flying over krimsk and I didnt saw the runway texture. I will give a look later and report back here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
