==Wiggy== Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I've started this one for you DonJosh, very early WIP. 1 Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHSubZero Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Looking good but I think the red nose should not reflect like metal... My Mods: DCS User Files Modules owned: EVERY Module :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
==Wiggy== Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Yes, you are most definitely correct! This is very early WIP. Just to let DonJosh know that I'm actually working on it. The painted areas will not look like metal in the final version :-). I will not create the Spec file until they painted areas are complete...So expect the paint to look like paint in the final rendition. :-) Edited January 5, 2018 by 000rick000 Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

==Wiggy== Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Yes sir. When complete. Have the wing markings, and a few other small details left, and the spec file to make. Hopefully today. But this coming week for sure. Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

==Wiggy== Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 (edited) Thanks guys! Much appreciated. There may be some minor historic inaccuracies, due to the fact that GAF operated Canadair Mk.6's so some of the placard locations will be slightly off due to the bump mapping and panel lines of The F model. But other than that I think for the most part it will be a good fit!

Automan Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I've done an image with a better JA-113 markings, hope can help improve this skin. For convenience, here you can find a resized png: should be in the right size to fit the F-86 texture, let me know if you need the original PSD file.

==Wiggy== Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 (edited) Thank you Automan! I will incorporate this. Here's a few screens of a first pass with introducing a Spec into the texture. Paint now looks like paint....I'll be refining as I go. The tail chevrons need more precise alignment, ignore that for now. I also need to add a few more things, most noteably the black windscreen and canopy rail.

DonJosh Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 rick, here a lil tipp, because we germans used the Canadair Mk.6, the cockpits are black. so checkout jocko417's skins, he added black cockpits on his Canadair sabres. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?CREATED_BY=jocko417&set_filter=Y&PER_PAGE=100&arrFilter_pf%5Bfiletype%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Bgameversion%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Bfilelang%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Baircraft%5D=150&arrFilter_DATE_CREATE_1_DAYS_TO_BACK=&sort_by_order=TIMESTAMP_X_DESC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
==Wiggy== Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 DonJosh, do you mean the interiors are black? I have plans already to add the black around the forward exterior and canopy rail as in the photo by automan above. But, is the interior a black interior?

Automan Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Great, I'm posting here a shot with some corrections you can make A reference photo for emblem and size of code markings About the JG71 emblem, there are several applied to this unit, the only photo of JA-113 doesn't put in light what exactly is carrying. I've found early photo of JA-108 and JA-112 with the emblem without white background and windrose. About the frame color, maybe it's in Yellow, but b&w images don't help too much:megalol: In the JA-111 after restoration, it's in Yellow I've attacked here a layered PSD with different emblem type: you can choose frame color, emblem style early/later, windrose on/off, background on/off. It's late here... I'm going to bed, bye;)JG71.psd ACER Predator Orion 9000: W10H | Intel i9-7900X OC@4.5Ghz | 8x16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport | Sapphire GTX1080TI | Intel 900P 480GB | Intel 600P 256GB | HP EX950 1TB | Seagate Firecuda 2TB ACER Predator XB281HK: 28" TN G-SYNC 4K@60hz ThrustMaster Warthog Hotas, TPR, MFD Cougar Pack, HP Reverb Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
==Wiggy== Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Yes! Thank you. I was actually already editing the thickness and also the size of the emblem. I've noticed that the triangles are not all the same but vary per aircraft in shape and location. Also my red paint is a little too red and needs to be a bit more orange? Any one know the actual color value of the red? Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Should be the same red of the German flag: RAL3020 Hex:C1121C ACER Predator Orion 9000: W10H | Intel i9-7900X OC@4.5Ghz | 8x16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport | Sapphire GTX1080TI | Intel 900P 480GB | Intel 600P 256GB | HP EX950 1TB | Seagate Firecuda 2TB ACER Predator XB281HK: 28" TN G-SYNC 4K@60hz ThrustMaster Warthog Hotas, TPR, MFD Cougar Pack, HP Reverb Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
==Wiggy== Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Ok, I've made the white outlines thicker, added the interior intake white line, increased the "Richtoffen" emblem size. Now, I just need to adjust the JA-113 size and fix the alignment issues on the tail flash markings...and incorporate those changes into the SPEC, which will be toned down a little bit. Now, the question is this...do you want the nose paint to be ON TOP of the painel lines and rivets, or do you want to see the rivets. Note in Autonmans picture above you can't see teh rivets or panel lines, as the paint is sealing the seams and providing a nice smooth layer.

Automan Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I think the best option is nose paint to be ON TOP of the panel lines and rivets, the normal map will do the rest ACER Predator Orion 9000: W10H | Intel i9-7900X OC@4.5Ghz | 8x16GB Crucial Ballistix Sport | Sapphire GTX1080TI | Intel 900P 480GB | Intel 600P 256GB | HP EX950 1TB | Seagate Firecuda 2TB ACER Predator XB281HK: 28" TN G-SYNC 4K@60hz ThrustMaster Warthog Hotas, TPR, MFD Cougar Pack, HP Reverb Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
==Wiggy== Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 Excellent. That's usually my preference as well for the same reasoning. Thank you! Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
