[WIP] 381st BG, 532nd BS

Recommended Posts

UPDATE: Sunday 16th July 2017

 

Learning the nuances of the new template and specular mapping. I hope to post better "metalised" liveries soon. (I cannot thank Eagle Dynamics enough for releasing a template!)

 

UPDATE: Sunday 9th July 2017

 

Replaced previous links and added a link to download a single zip file containing Part 1 of the 352nd Squadron Liveries, (More to come). This is for a flight of VE-F,K,N,O (Minus nose art), plus the blank, and default description.lua to keep the default livery in Mission Editor. When extracting please use "Extract Here" for individual folders. These are an improved version on the original post.

 

I cannot implore ED enough to release templates. Even a default plain (UnSquadroned) Olive Green/Drab, and an Aluminium livery would be great. Working with the textures you really get to appreciate what outstanding models Eagle Dynamics create, with the fine texturing and superb attention to detail. These are great days.

 

Link is below; (Subject to change!)

 

IMPORTANT:

If you add these skins you will need to add the description.lua for the default skin in Mission Editor.

Thank you Gentlemen. Everytime I see these in game my eyes keep popping. (Happens when flying in DCS full-stop these days!) ED have done a truly outstanding job with all their modelling and texturing. It is unsurpassed.

 

As it stands now I have to over-write the original wing and fuselage .dds's. I am trying to work out the description.lua so that many Liveries can be added. I am sure the coding will come later but it would be good to see these in game now. If I don't have any success soon then I will upload them as is.

The good news is that it was pretty straight forward to create the description.lua from the model.edm. It works in mission editor so there can be multiple liveries.

 

I need to increase the size of the fuselage "Stars and Bars" for this livery.

 

Once that is done I will post a link to download it on my first post. Hopefully by next weekend.

 

Cheers,

Great work BrassEm and if you can find a way to make them with the metallic sheen texture all the better IMO.

Yeah, I think I may have altered the original specular mapping tint a little while doing some editing. (First time editing spec maps). Now that we have the template it might be easier to edit. I will look into it. Hopefully it will be a matter of just posting new specular files.

 

UPDATE:

 

It is not the specular maps but the aluminium gray shade is way too dark in the diffused. Fixing now and reposting version 1.02 when done. Much Better.
