Texac Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 (edited) Skin is now available. Download 10-05-2020 Currently I'm working on a weathered version of the 480th Fighter Squadron based in Spangdahlem. Most of the detail can be seen up close while I try to keep the complete appearance noticeable but still realistic. I'm not sure if I will include bump/normal textures for every part. Most of its detail can be seen on the canopy frame, a blue/grayish sealant used to keep it pressurized, and scratches with actual depth all over the airframe. I also added a little bit of detail to the air refueling door with scratches and a metallic material. Here you can see the current progress so far.

fagulha Posted October 10 Share Posted October 10 WOW impressive! love the Ext Tanks weathered detail on the nose. I do it to my personal liveries in the Hornet and Viper too.

DonJosh Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 great work tex! i really like it. one little thing, you forget the bort umber on the nose. Link to post Share on other sites
Texac Posted October 11 Author Share Posted October 11 (edited) great work tex! i really like it. one little thing, you forget the bort umber on the nose. That is a problem with the bort number system itself, I believe. The bort numbers on the nose and the refueling door use the same texture or the same line to call it, except for the first digit of the 4 numbers on the nose. So having gray numbers on the refueling door will get you 1 blue number and 3 gray numbers on the nose. Similar problem with the RoughMets for the nose, as the numbers overlap two textures. Then you can't get RoughMets for dynamic numbers, etc. etc... Could be that I'm going duum dumm and missed something or the bort number system for the F-16 is really sketchy. So I went for the numbers on the refueling door, so far until I see a fix or someone enlightens me.

fagulha Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 What a great liverie. Love the Ext Tanks and all the little details on the airframe. Impressive. Maybe a non-weathered one with those fine details? :) Thank you. Portugal Col. Bruno "Fonzie" F.

monkie Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 Fantastic work, thank you for sharing. Only one small critique and this is more a matter of taste is that the underside of the wings seem a bit too clean considering the amount of weathering on the top. Any chance of a bit more grease on the underside of the wings? Perhaps this is not prototypical as they say but when I rolled the plane it just kinda stood out to me that the ground crew only seems to be wiping the underside of the wings :) Sager Laptop, i7-6700k 4.00GHz, 16GB RAM, GTX 980M, 1920x1080, TIR 5, Windows 10 Link to post Share on other sites

Any chance of a bit more grease on the underside of the wings? I had few images that show the bottom of the wings clearly, without the pylons blocking visibility. The bottom of the wings are fairly clean on these photos compared to the rest of the airframe. So I'm assuming they are overall very clean. - Skins/Liveries - DCS Screenshots • Texac on YouTube • Link to post Share on other sites
