Adding Skins to Models

[crazyeddie]

I seem to remember reading somewhere that we can do this but cannot find the thread again.

 

I want to be able to add new textures to existing models where there is only one choice at present, and I want to be able to use the new skins as well as the old ones in the Mission Builder.

 

Anyone know where I start with this

it's available only with .lom files, so with new 3D models (Walmis'F15, VF15, VF33, Rafale, J10 etc)

 

with standard 3D models (LO original aircrafts), the files are .cmd and it's impossible to add any new texture.

only replace existing one.

so replace bmp in the cdds files or put them in your temptexture folder

 

(and I don't know where is the thread you're talking about, sorry ;))

I thought that was going to be the answer but a while back somebody put up a screenshot of about 6 E3's and they all had different skins, that's a .CMD file aircraft so how did they do that then ?

E-3 model is a .lom file.

Thanks TekaTeka, must have looked at the wrong file !!!! Bad day at the office !!!!

 

Thanks Cpt Stark, much appreciated. I was actually trying to think of a way to put three different version of the Kutz into the game so I could have The Original, an Indian version and the Charles de Gaule as well.

 

Too ambitious is my problem !!!
