draconus Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I like loading screens of FC3 aircraft and Su-25T while there are just clouds when F-14B is loading. Is there a way to do a custom one for the Cat? Not talking about the main menu screen and I don't like the Tomcat theme either.

razo+r Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The F-14 has a custom loading screen. But if you want to change the pictures, go here: \DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F14\Skins\ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 The custom loading screen shows if you have the theme selected. We are sorry if it is not to your taste, but in that sense we probably won't be able to satisfy everyone anyway, if that makes sense. Sorry about that.

draconus Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) I certainly don't want you to change anything for me. I'm just looking for a way to change it for myself, like already did with custom DCS wallpaper in main menu. I'll look at the given folder, thx.

No problems, and rest assured, we would love to change stuff to accommodate everyone, that is not the issue, just ofc it is unrealistic to think we could ever please everyone's taste. We really appreciate every opinion though. And yeah, it is fairly easy to change the pictures for yourself, if you want, as it was described above. Hope you find a great one that you like, would love to see which one you chose.

Rudel_chw Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 ... I'll look at the given folder, thx. There is also the alternative of using the USER theme, that goes into Saved Games rather than on the DCS Program Folder: It is activated on Options: You can also include custom Music: :) For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted August 6, 2019 Author Share Posted August 6, 2019 There is also the alternative of using the USER theme, that goes into Saved Games rather than on the DCS Program Folder I already am using user theme for the main menu screen. When I put loading-window.png there it is used as first loading screen then reverting to clouds when the Tomcat module is loading, but if I choose ex. F-15C I first see my loading screen for F-14B and then it changes to F-15C which is ridiculous. Any chance of making Tomcat to use its loading screen only when it's the mission for it? This works currently for Su-25T and all FC3 aircraft. TF-51 shows clouds.

draconus Posted August 8, 2019 Author Share Posted August 8, 2019 I appreciate your loading image and downloaded. Hey, can you consider to make a new F-14B main menu theme image like this? Sorry, I don't plan to make any more. My main screen is this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-K-qYgZ9qIAQ/UR07f8FjbXI/AAAAAAAAAiQ/ShyCu5YuOzE/s1600/040603-N-9769P-275.jpg Glad that you liked it.

Pally Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) VF-31 Tomcatters . Draconus, everyone, and IronMike: Hi fellas. I am a VF-31 Tomcatter fan, and after some searching on the web, I found two pictures for the mission loading screen and base wallpaper. They were found from the internet, hence all rights below to respective owner, and or artist. I used Windows 10 to convert the JPG into PNG format, as required by DCS World in order for the image to show. The wallpaper one, Base-menu-window.png, is the VF-31 Tomcatters sporting the, per the Lithograph from Aircraftprofileprints.com (n.d), retirement scheme of 2006 aboard CVW-8, CVN-71 USS. Roosevelt. That memorable "last time, baby" paint scheme is also available as an in-game livery (check with DCS World's download section). Now, I know the wallpaper one is indeed an F-14D, but I was too sold on the Felix logo, and their "We Get Ours At Night" to let that get to me. Meanwhile, the mission loading screen, Loading-windows.png, is from the perspective of looking back at a VF-1 Wolfpack RIO while three fellow Tomcats flanked in echelon formation. Visit here for a little more info about the VF-31 operational history with loads of F-14 pictures. Without further ado, here are the images, and respective PNG ready for downloading. Base-menu-window.png (2.6 meg) PNG of above for download: https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/ZhzmHoT9ZJPIWmbWq2FvBA8xLXqou8shGhZ9FpejDJc Loading-window.png (6.2 meg) PNG of above to download: https://www.amazon.com/clouddrive/share/pscnUHJYAF7ZMDTkvmv4BCQ9SAEmjSSYwnQaLd1lavm Lastly, I do not have the intermission loading screen yet, but the VF-102 Diamondbacks by Draconus above is sure inspiring for creating a matching one for the VF-31 Tomcatters. Hope this satisfy some fans of the Tomcatters. p.s: Thank you HeatBlur and Eagle Dynamics! :thumbup: **Make sure you make a backup of the above, or whichever PNG you replaced, because after ever DCS/DCS Open Beta updates of which will revert all PNGs back to their original.*** Edited November 30, 2019 by Pally resolving image presentation error; additional VF-31 info w/ link; grammar and syntax correction.
