James Jabara 334th FIS - FIX Posted


==Wiggy==

Recommended Posts

Wanted to start a new thread since I'm going to be uploading a fix. I don't want anyone to miss it, if they're interested. I'll post the link when ready. This fix is for the "NewAlum" Livery only. This is not applicable to the bare metal scheme. I am working on a new Spec file for the "StdAlum" version of this livery to be better at all angles. Below are images showing multiple lighting angles. Thank you for the interest.

 

Here's the L I N K

That looks great, dude! Jabara's stories on some documentaries I've seen are some of the primary reasons I love the Sabre. Thank you for posting.

Oh dear, maybe it ended up being a bit too dirty :D? I love frontline airbase style weathering, but I'd be careful not to overdo the black "noise" layer, 'cause the plane on the first screen looks as if someone was shoveling coal with it ;). I also don't think so much black staining is "justified" on the fuselage above wing, as there's nothing there which would cause that dirt buildup in normal combat and ground maintenance ops.

 

Downloaded and checked the normal v2 skin. It's pretty cool with those little scratches, not as squeaky clean and "mirror-reflective" as I was afraid it would be.

 

About the thread moving, users can't do it. PM one of the mods, Skatezilla or BigNewy, they'll do it easily.

Oh, haha! That's not a final rendition. I just slapped on the dirt as a way to show that I'm working on it for you . And then, yes I flew it through a coal mine shaft. Lol.

 

I'm glad you like the look of the New AL version! I'm still a WIP as a painter in DCS but it's coming along!

I've also started another thread in the location you suggested -- Ok, I've dialed the dirt way back, and added a little more muzzle flash/heat scorching to the gun ports. Reflection is dialed back. There is more dirt from the New Aluminum paint, but less than seen above. Per ART-J's comments in another thread.

Here's a few more prior to release. I've toned down the Reflection and Specular a bit more in areas, especially the Gun ports and engine exhaust shroud. Hopefully it's achieving the oxidization look...
