Pretty much, so unless (which I doubt they would), they would do such a thing, or come up with a plugin (if that's possible) for .edm, so they'd have to figure that out. I mean a program that they come up with would of course work, but I'm sure they're a bit busy as it is.

Substance Painter (I used Deeppaint with another simulator though, but that was like 2004 or 5 after Iraq, or before..) is a good program to use for skins, but I still stick with the ModelViewer workflow, which I'm sure everybody else does, it would save a lot of time ane work. Anyway if they modify ModelViewer to read encrypted files and allow for texture work, then they can protect their content whilst allowing for more content (skins at least) to be created, and it will allow them to keep their privacy and other legal issues, so I agree with you on that. Whether or not they do that remains to be seen of course, but it wouldn't be a bad idea and we all win too.

I've done a few skins too and I mean is it a loss if the new MIG-29A is encrypted? In the long run no, but I'll be like "WTF?" and so on, so there's that. Overall I can't effect how it's handled, but I do hope they don't encrypt it, they'd be shooting themselves in the foot content-wise, given the amount of skins on the User Files in the first place. I mean that's a new model, new textures, new template, hopefully at least.

No problem, yours look good too, may check them out as well...

I mean that's a valid request, but let's see if they don't encrypt the module first, then we can talk about new liveries. I mean I'm angling for some Fictional ones, and a real world one, but given the F-5 issue, let's wait and see before we get too excited.

They're on the CombatAce site. It's a long and sordid story that will break a forum rule, so I'll just keep to "a long story" for the moderators to ignore. But I'm going through them as they were done years ago, and I wanted them back for people to enjoy. I'm going to do new content, but don't know when, so I'm passing the time re-establishing myself on here and the main DCS site A fictional Arctic scheme for the C https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3344785/

I think I should note through a long story, that I'm merely re-uiploading skins. I might be helping somebody out with some skins or not, but overall these are re-uploads, not current work or whatnot.

Yeah I skinned the F-5 for somebody years ago, and I think it was before they encrypted the models, so I did the work and moved on, and took a break due to not enough hard drive space., Now that I got a better laptop with more space, I can get back into it now, so that's good. As for the Mig-29 agreed, it'd be a real shame if they didn't encrypt it though, as I'd like to mess with it myself.

I decided to do one but there's already a skin present for the DDR scheme with the East German Air Force skin already present in the base files.

Going to be uploaded soon: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3344766/

Well I hope that doesn't happen as it would be a shame that's for sure.

Good to know, thanks!

Looks like I'll have to wait for Steam to update, but will get.

I think the community will come up with some. I know I have a couple in mind, a RuAF one I did for the previous FC bird, and a couple fictional versions too.

Is that planned or is it specifically for the F-16? If not then cool, but it would be cool to have a better pod for the Hog.

I think the issue we're running into is that the C model has some obvious differences, and we're trying to work around it. I mean the part in front of the canopy isn't removable to my knowledge, and the turkey feathers would require a complete airframe specific model in order to work as intended. There's only so much we can do to finish the texture.

Okay I don't know if the grey area is a part of the C model (looks like something that is a part of the overall model, and not a mistake on my part), so I'll see what I can do. I'll fix the rest though. 22 FS Bitburg.7z

Okay easy enough

Also move it to here:

Actually I never thought of it, so I could possibly make one anyway, what colors are you looking at? Current scheme with UKR stuff on it?

I have the module myself, but haven't taken it out for a spin (been meaning to) yet, focusing on the A-10 as I get back into things.

I've been on the forums since like 2004 really. But there seems to be some misconception about me I feel, and had to just clarify it. Somebody else on the forum here alluded to me "being on the inside", and had to just clarify. But I know what I did, I just can't talk about it, NDA and all.
