The Mig25 artwork is not LOMAC version specific, you can use them with ANY release of the LOMAC programme AFAIK! What bothers (intruges) me is why you are having problems with 'Starforce' ;) Have you reported this to ED Tech support! and thank you for your kind comment. Mizzy

Here is a quickie for the Mig25 RVP (or RPV) R something or other, RIP, well whatever :) The Mig is untouched but just for fun, I have put a cloud layer in the background. Mizzy

I have been doing the Mig25 on and off for quite some time. Here is the latest updated skin which features a highly realistic fuselage (well it looks realistic to me!). My best Mig25 yet I think. See: Mizzy

Good question Python, rain is lighter and less stringy at low altitude and about the same at high. Snow flakes are smaller or should be :). Not a great difference apart from the low altitude rain. Then again my eyes are getting old too you know :) Try the ship explosion and fire effects, IMO the best part in the WIP package. Mizzy

I have no time at the moment Flanky. I am doing some art for BS and I want to help out with that. I have done a skin for the Mig23, but it is not to everyones taste. As for hi res templates etc. I am still learning how to use my graphics programme :) Mizzy

Yes I agree very much. Eric and Colt are veteran skin jobbers, very talented artists. This is a nice post thank you for your VERY kind words but I really do not classify myself with that much talent, more like a painter of a house that was already built ! Regards Mizzy

Thank you Starky for the constructive comment, it is appreciated but I do not have a clue what you are saying :D I do not have a knowledgeable background in military matters and do rudinentary artwork for fun, not realism as such. The thing I like to do is try and make aircraft 'look' real but not necessarily with their correct camo schemes or markings. I just don't have that level of interest or skill/talent to be that detailed, sorry. Mizzy

No you are right, you did not. Anyway shemi, why don't you give it a go on the Mig25. You are starting to do skins yourself and you picked the HARDEST ONE LOL. The Su25t is too hard for me at the moment as my skills are not up to it yet. But I will try because I have been doing some things in Black Shark (not sure if they are any good as yet) that are very complicated for me, multiple mapped skins etc. Will you give it a go Shemi, use my skin and play around with it if you like. There is no copyright, as ED owns the skins and art. Mizzy

Hello Have a look at the thread about weathered artwork. its in this section and the link. Mizzy

Hello I think the one that Lotham is referring to is the one I have in my weathered package. The details are in this section. Mizzy

Thank you very much Lotham for your comments and All your kind words, I am speechless. Mizzy PS brilliant and entertaining video btw. I can tell you a truth, I do not play LOFC as a combat simulation, but as a military flight simulation ;)

No it is not mine and it looks very interesting, if I could just say one thing, it looks as if you have slightly overdone the contrast. Is the template Mitch Janssens ? It is a good effect and the more of us putting our skills in practice, the more choice for the community. Well done and keep going :) Mizzy

Hi Brum (hic hic) :) It is my skins for the Mig25s and you can download them at Thomas site http://www.lockonfiles.com Cheers Mizzy

These are skinning jobs I did when learning to skin. Never thought they were good enough compared to some others on the net but I want to start releasing all what I have for LOFC. I am working on things for BS now which is much more difficult as the standard is extremely high!! Mizzy

Thank you Teka very much for helping out. If I recall one or two skins were default 1024 size in the cdds. Since I have limited skill in paintshop pro, I cannot do hi res skins as yet. So I have to follow the default route, but I will have a look again. Many kind words from you all but as I have stated, please remember the REAL artists in this...The ED artists. Mizzy

Yes Thomas is a good person with his time help. Thank you Thomas. I will be editing this post as I am currently uploading to rapidshare. Mizzy Download available now: http://rapidshare.com/files/83795197/Mig29_art_collection.rar.html

TEC I will upload them anyway so anyone can use them but if you do a Modman install, just let everyone know and we see if we can upload it at Thomas site lockonfiles. Just packaging it up now for upload to rapidshare and i will let you all know where they are. I have got thefile down to 90 meg using dds compression. I am going to be busy until late tonite so it won't be until later I upload them. Thank you TEC and everyone else, I really think these are worth the hassle. They are my best art I have ever done. Mizzy

Good idea I will do that. Mizzy

Oh yes Brum, I like a cider now and again, but it makes me giddy! Apologies for not uploading the files for the Mig29, this is because there are many problems with the Modman install process. The main problem being that some files are duplicated and with the same name in other cdds files. I simply cannot work out how to use Modman with the Mig29 files as there are 42 files for all the Mig29s. Some install with no problem, others don't :( So I will have to upload the files as they are and the end user will have to do what I do, install them using the cdds editor ;) Nothing more I can do sorry. Here are some more screenies as i think they will be worth the download and the pain in the arse install. Mizzy

Yes Brit, the orange brown smoke is a side effect I think. The trouble was that the explosion bmp files were cross referenced with other effects thus I found that replacing all the bmps caused oddities elswhere in the programme. There is no way as yet to extend the effects of ground vehicles and aircraft explosion effects as they appear with the ships. I have asked ED to give me some direction to this but I would have thought that issue was not a major thing to do if any extra coding was necessary. As yet I have not been given any guidance on this, but ED are so busy and this is a mod thing, I can understand why they have no time to devote to this graphic effect. I will keep on at them though, in a unobtrusive way of course! Mizzy

I will upload them tonite somewhere but here is a preview: All the Mig skins have had a face lift or a complete repaint :) Hope you like them and remember the credit must go to ED artists not me! Mizzy

Nesher The real professional artists are ED art team, not me!! Anyway yes I have been working on the Mig 29c has been worked on in tangent to the Mig29a. I need to look at some things for Black Shark after this. Mizzy

Dear FC/ED simulation fans, I present the Mig29a collection. They are as realistic as my eyes percieve the real world (light and shade, contrast etc.) I think they now look like they have been in the air and seen a bit of action. I shall upload (somewhere) this weekend and the are ready to kick some F16 butt :) I have still no word about the original author of the Su17 so cannot do anything with that beautiful skin until permission is given. Mizzy.

Here is the finished (touched up and weathered) Mig29a test scheme. ALL credit must go to the Eagle Dymanics artist(s) as they are fantastic talented people. Hope they like what I have done to their wonderful artwork. Mizzy

Does anyone know the author of the attached skin as it is fantastic and I wish to touch it up a little with permission: Mizzy
