    F-16A Skin Pack 2

    in AI Aircraft

    Posted

    Hey Gents,

     

    I spent the last 15 hours searching the net and finding and converting 9 more skins for the F-16A and C variants to Hi-Res 2048X2048. These skins are beautiful representations of the 80's and 90's F-16. Please install these in your Bazar/Liveries folder for the F-16A and C. I did add updated tail markings to all of the aircraft and I hope you enjoy them as much as I did updating them...I love this little aircraft.

     

    P.S. Thanks to all of the skinners out there who take the time to make this art. I enjoy painting them as much as I do updating them. Salute!

     

    Note: These should work for 2.0 as well, They are DDS.

    OH Yeah these skins are only for the A and C varients ...

     

    Kayos you have to select it in the bottom icons in games main screen. Look for the F-16A icon you can scroll left or right until you see it then click on it and set Wallpaper...Thats it buddy

    Charlie after looking at the screens you sent me I did have 2 skins corrected. The 113th TFS ANG Colts and the Aviano. Please delete the Avaino and 113th Folders and replace them with these...The skins file names are all named the same. I only use US for countries. I didnt change any countries names. Basically I just converted these textures to work with 1.5.6. In fact the new Avaino f-16 I just posted is missing the USAF insignia in the wing. You can just take the file named f-16a-NED-fus.bmp from 285 Arkansas Razors skin folder and just replace it with the same skin and that will give you the insignia or if you want to try to get rid of the double marks, take that file from the aviano folder and drop it in the other folders skins of the same color and that will give you the plain wing and your game will place your marking for you.

    Just a thought. JUST MAKE SURE ITS THE SAME COLOR, some are different. You get the idea..lol

    Everyone of these skins works fine in my game. I'm not sure what version your running but in the ME please makes sure you get rid of assigned planes numbers. Also if you assign these as AI you will get the AC number on the tails. I haven't figured a way to get rid of them yet. No one else has posted the work around for that issue. As far as your wings go not sure what to tell ya but all of my skins work fine. Are you piloting these planes yourself or AI. If AI then again my explanation above is all I can tell ya. Thanks for the feedback though..Let me know if ya figure it out...

     

    Wish I could help ya. Maybe shoot one of the admins or moderators a PM with this issue. Im sure they can help ya. Good Luck

    Pilots Helmet and skin uniformity....Must Read

    in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World

    Posted · Edited by uscstaylor

    Hey Gents,

     

    This is for all of those pilots out there who want to have custom skins for their pilots and helmets. In other words you keep your pilots suit and helmet skin uniform when he ejects from the plane.

     

    I have been putting together custom helmets and suits for my squadron. It looks great when their in the cockpit but if trouble arises and he has to eject then the flight suit and helmet skin would change..Well not anymore!

     

    Below is what I did to ensure that my pilots skin remains the same throughout the flight even if he has to eject....

     

    1st Make sure that if you use JSGME that you disable you aircraft when you make changes or it will not work.

    2nd Follow my description lau for my pilots skin and helmet lines for yours. This goes for the F-18 pilot. If you use the A-10 or F-15 it would be the same lines but without the F-18 line. If your Russian pilots then you would find out what files the Russian pilot uses for his pilot skin and helmet skin. I have the F-18 and it uses the files below.

     

    {"pilot_F18C_body", 0, "pilot_fa-18c_bulls", false}, This is my skin

    {"pilot_F15_00_body", 0 ,"pilot_f15_00_a",false};

    {"pilot_F15_00_body", 0 ,"pilot_f15_00_b",false};

    {"pilot_a10_body", 0, "pilot_a10",false};

    {"pilot_F15_patch", 0 ,"pilot_f15_patch_37_sqdn",false};

    {"pilot_F15_00_helmet", 0 ,"pilot_f15_helmet",false};

    {"pilot_F18C_helmet", 0, "hgu55", false};

    {"pilot_a10_helmet", 0, "hgu55.bmp", false};

     

     

    The helmet is the same skin just rename to match the last three lines. It uses the A-10, F-15 and the F-18 lines from the EDM files.

    The pilot skin is 4 separate skins in folder so total you should have 7 files in the skin folder 4 for pilot and 3 for helmet.

     

    I hope this helps guys who want to keep their custom skins uniform...even when having to eject from plane. I also think I explained this so people can understand it. I'll attach a link to one of my CO skin so you can see the folders layout if that helps....

    Question about AI tail numbers...Need anwesr please

    in DCS Modding

    Posted · Edited by uscstaylor

    Hey Gents

    Im curious I fly all of my missions with custom made skins and for my aircraft the tail number is part of the skin. I would like to know how do I stop the game from assigning the AI aircraft a tail number in the quick missions. I know in mission editor you can fix it but not in the Quick mission. Anyone know what files need to be deleted or fixed can you please post here. Thanks in advance for any input boys!

    Thanks' Sierra

    It will take me a couple of weeks to get the tail skins done cause I'm gonna have to redo that area to add numbers. Ill post here again when I have an update.
