Texac Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Clean and weathered F-16C Block 50 from the 480th Fighter Squadron stationed in Spangdahlem, Germany. Tail Code SP. Download the weathered version. Download the clean version. 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, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 WOW impressive! love the Ext Tanks weathered detail on the nose. I do it to my personal liveries in the Hornet and Viper too. Glad you did it too in this incredible liverie. Thank you. Waiting and waiting :) Best regards, F. - "Don't be John Wayne in the Break if you´re going to be Jerry Lewis on the Ball".

DonJosh Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 great work tex! i really like it. one little thing, you forget the bort umber on the nose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texac Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 (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, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 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. - "Don't be John Wayne in the Break if you´re going to be Jerry Lewis on the Ball".

monkie Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
