cookiemonste Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Hi folks, I hope you are all doing well and are safe. Me and my friend Kerbo, have started work on a JF-17 paintkit. We plan to release it for christmas as a small present to the community. And who knows, Deka might even give us their blessings. This was originally posted to the JF-17 livery section in the forum but we figured its better off here. Here is the paintkit: we've updated the Template, V 2.0 is out and includes among other stuff: - improved weathering - AO - improved stencils -included tanks into the sample skin -custom and updated roughmets to go along with the weathering - and a (still very WIP) Roughmet template another change we made is we merged both wings into a single file, Wing R should be exported as Main 06 and Wing L should be exported as Main 07 we recommend using the sample skin folder as the base of your livery and just overwriting the files as needed to fix a couple of bugs encountered If you have any issues with the template or want help with it feel free to ping me! Expect another (maybe even bigger!) update in the coming weeks as community contributions become added to the template, https://drive.google.com/file/d/18muUTMH1UxRe-7xGgYTADuuIQS7D1SDO/view?usp=sharing Edited February 3 by cookiemonste 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_Romeo Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) Looks very promissing. Cant wait to try it out. Btw, is your template based on my clean skin ? Xd Edited December 23, 2020 by Mike_Romeo My skins Link to post Share on other sites
cookiemonste Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Yes and no. I've gotten the panels and rivets mainly through the roughmet. But some bits were extracted via your clearn skin. But you will see, its featured as well. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

DHesquire Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Is there any guidance on how to translate between the wings? Right wing comes up fine but I can only get left to be some weird mirror so all the text is backwards. Flipping and rotating various ways just misaligns the template... This is what I get with the 'correct' flip - the orientation is wrong and doesn't read correctly into the model 1 System Monitor: RoG SWIFT PG349Q | Case: Cooler Master HAF X | Mobo: ASUS Rampage IV Extreme | CPU: Intel Core i7-3970X | RAM: 16GB Corsair CMT8GX3M2B2133C9 | GPU: RoG STRIX GeForce 1080Ti | SSD: Crucial MX500 500GB | HDD: 2x 1TB WD 10k Velociraptor (RAID0) Modules DCS World: | BS2 | A10C | CA | UH1 | Mi8 | FC3 | HT1 | L39 | SA342 | F5E | M2K | NTTR | AJS37 | AV8B | F18 | PG | C101 | F16 | SC | A4E | MB339 | Falcon 4: BMS | FSX:SE Link to post Share on other sites
