Quick question.

Has anyone figured out the .lua callouts for the:

TCS

Drop Tanks

Pylons

Phoenix Plylons?

Bonus points for a callout for the aim-54c.

You’ll find most if you go through the different livery luas. :)

Hint: They are usually the name of the psd.

Gotcha. Any chance we can get a list of lua callouts? there used to be a tool we could use to extract the .EDM file and get a list of every single Lua callout that the EDM referenced for textures. but it has since been broken by the update to the latest EDM file format. This makes doing off the wall things like changing the color of glass, lights, and weapons possible.

Hmmmm.

That's odd. It looks correct from what I can see.

Thanks a lot, was eagerly waiting for this one!

Will a helmet template be available soon?

@Cobra,

I've Just noticed it and I'll try and fix it on my skin, However the helmet visor knob position is wrong.

the Visor is down, however the locking screw for it (the butterfly knob) is in the "visor Up" position, with visor down the knob is down in the groove.

Anyone have or know where I can find the white blank helmet texture to start with?

There isn't one use what cobra sent out and simply paint the helmet white and add your own layers

Its always been like that Im sure there will be a fix

Not sure what you mean?

 

To get an all red Tomcat you would just need make a layer that's red within your own livery folder and play around with the color and opacity.

 

Can you post a screenshot of your issue?

For the F-18, we can turn off the background layer and retain all the other details like this:

And then can replace with completely different background color like this:

But with F-14, when I turn off background color layers, it seems a lot of lines, panels, etc are gone.

So when the background is replaced with totally different color, many lines and panels are missing

Where the originally file looks like this

It took me a decade to pull the paint kit down from the link provided, must be alot of demand, I hope nobody minds but I mirrored the paint kit on GDrive if anyone wants to pull it down faster - if Google denies the download due to limit, just hit "copy to my Google Drive" and you'll be able to DL it there:

I see.

 

Different techniques for different companies I suppose.

Here's how I would do it:

 

Fill layer (Set to about 80% opacity) and then use the picker to find your desired hue.

 

 

 

Adding a quick video file. :)

 

How do I edit these files?

GIMP can not be used unless someone can convert it to the XCF format.

These are made in Photoshop CC and will be the most compatible with that.

There are people who use GIMP but since I do not, I can't offer much assistance.

Maybe one of the GIMP experts will chime in.
