Reflected Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 That VF-1 jet looks fantastic. It's almost a shame Heatblur's Tomcat collection won't also include a Block 70 or 75 model. Thank you, you helped so much with these, answering my 1000 private messages about colors and schemes :D I’m glad you approve of the final result.

ShinyMikey Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Those skins look outstanding! It would be really better to have those skins available for both the A and the B. I can't imagine that I or others will use the A much (especially in MP), but I'd still love to have every squadron's colors. Please consider releasing these skins for the B as well so that we can enjoy them as much as possible. Thanks for your great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reflected Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Help please! When I save the EXT4 file as a dds, it has these "holes" in the texture that were not visible in the pdf format. However, when I load the skins in model viewer, these holes are not present. WTF? Any advice please? Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc_Origins Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Issues with my first skin After re-doing and almost finishing again my skin (first one) i still keep getting the same problem, the wings paint is darker, same for the tail, both stabiliser paint is much darker than the fuselage the phoenix pylon, wing pylons and the fuel tank template arent working either (yes for the whole skin i used the template in the first page of the thread and i used assets within different liveries from the template to make and edit my skin and yes im using the intel plugin for ps) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redlinebuzz Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 LOD texture ? Been searching for ages but cannot find an answer, I managed to figure out how to skin the F14 but for the lige of me cannot figure out how to do the LOD file, so it keeps jumping back to a different skin at distance, is it even possible ? Because I don't see an LOD file in the paintkit, thanks in advance. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that depending on what I selected in the Intel DDS export window in Photoshop the texture would come out super dark. It depends whether you select SRGB vs whatever the other option was. Also the tail texture does seem to apply differently, I had to do extra work on it to have it match the rest of the aircraft whenever I used non-standard colors like dark sea blue or ww2 Blue-Gray. You may need to add extra color layers or play with the brightness/darkness/contrast manually to have it match the body of the aircraft more closely.

Zaku Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Working a few real MBU-14 color variations into my squadron skins. It's pretty easy to find the two-tone pattern using the normal map: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Changing the flight suits and helmets is a manual process of copy and overwrite though isn't it? Hopefully that could get a couple pull down menus in the Mission Editor or rearming page.
