Thanks, got it. Will upload shortly though.

Yeah SOLIDKREATE just sent me the stuff for it, but thanks man.

EFT Texture? What does that mean? Not sure about the seat, may be a separate model. EDIT: It's not mapped on the template anywhere, so you'll have to live with it. Got the canopy

Anyway got these fixes in before it being approved: - Black wheels - Removed the occlusion stuff, I didn't like it that much anyway, so it'll look more real.

I'll see what I can do

Yeah I messed up in doing the occlusion layers. It's not bad so far. But, I might remove it based on your advice. I don't like baked in shadows myself (I think that's a bit much, and in some cases it works, so hit or miss), but it's my first F-15, so I'll take it and work on it.

I managed to finish it, I tried @streakeagle (now it works lol) on the topic, but it didn't go through there, but it's uploaded and waiting approval.

Well I managed to figure out the patch file, so that's done. I uploaded it as a version 1.0 or so, maybe some user feedback will improve it. Anyway @streakeagle, I'll post the update when it's active

Some progress. Now I have to find the pilot patches and figure out how that works out:

Never mind, I found the shield through some luck, whew!

If there was something clearer on the first image then I could use it, the stuff gets in the way though. I have one from SOLIDKREATE but I don't know what period it's in. I can see what I can work with though. The bottom photo is better for the tail eagle/bird though, that helps a lot. And apparently my Flikr-Fu isn't that good either...

Where did you find the side emblems though? That's all I need (and maybe the patches for the pilot) to do, and having a hell of a time finding it.

Agreed, I don't even remotely know what he's talking about.

I enjoy it too. If I was young enough I'd go back to a gaming group, but for now I'll go back to plinking targets and stuff. I may fly Afghanistan with it, but with the pitching up issues near airports (I'm planning on taking off from Jbad if I can) I may fly something else, haven't decided yet.

I agree, or a revamped one at best. I'm sure the current version handles well, but an update wouldn't hurt.

I've been using the NVIDIA Texture tools that had the DDS plugin, so I save as the default setting, and works fine with the sim and such.

Thanks, I have yet to even think of setting it up yet. Kinda working on a skin, then I may start flying... Sometime, but thanks man!

Yeah it's good to be seen actually (and good to see you as well). I mean it's been a few years, but I have enough space on my new laptop to fully install DCS, so I can get back into flying (eventually) and skinning again.

Right now I'm trying to find reference photos for the intake sides, both left and right. I figured out the decol image and how to use it (obviously), so all I need to know what to put on the sides of the intakes, and should be done. I did request to join an F-15 group on Facebook, so if that goes through, then I can wrap this one up. A Flickr search didn't help either, but did show that the shield is mimicked on each side, so that makes it easier, now just have to find a good image of it, and I'll be set.

Well good to know, as I just installed it and haven't flown it yet.

Good to know because I was looking for it on the Steam store.

I'll try it. Tail work, I seem to have gotten the size though:
