Colt40Five

Won't be long now...

Nice that's just perfect! Do you know anything about the insignia it carries? And what does it say on the wing? AMV?

Here's a couple of random shots

ooh thanks Gishuk! I really want to get this pack released before Christmas, and I still have hours of mission testing to do, so I doubt I will be able to get a Venezuelan skin into this release. But that doesn't mean I might not do it later on either.... still need a shot of the top of the left wing though or I'll be guessing...hehe Made some corrections to the demo skin (found some better pictures). This is the su-30 that crashed in France in 99(well except that one had canards).

I'd be willing to wait until NEXT Xmas for WAFM and some of the other goodies I think LO needs... :pilotfly:

Got pics?

I felt like I needed one more...

I couldn't agree more! :)

These skins will be released as part of a pack which will contain a mod to give the Su-33 the Su-30 exterior model (A-A refueling and no meinit edits!), 3 skins, Su-30 startup and loading screens, and 15+ missions. Should be ready for release in a few weeks.

Decided to make some skins to go with an Su-30 mission pack I'm working on. This pic inspired me for two of them: http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c153/Colt40Five/1-1.jpg The third is basically a repainted version of my MAKO Su-33 skin for the 30.

[shift+O] worked for me?

How do you employ laser guided missiles from Su-33? I figure it has to be a designated target in the ME like with anti-shipping missiles, but I can't get them to release.

Nothing special, just screenies set to music. http://w11.easy-share.com/695394.html

I've owned an X-52 for 2 years now with no problems at all, and I don't see enough new in the pro version to make we want to upgrade just yet. :joystick:

The 'cobra' maneuver... where the Flanker pitchers [vertically] to over 100 degrees is not a stunt, it is a missile launch maneuver for a over-the-shoulder launch on a passing head-on target by an IMFIL missile, as briefed to me by the Director of TsAGI. German Zagainov." http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/2006/11/amraam-deploying-developing-americas-mediumrange-airair-missile-updated/index.php

Now up at lockonfiles...

Ahhh the spaces were getting me...thx! So I converted my .bmps to 24bit with irfanview and they look like crap(but they did work in-game). Can't see how to change the color depth in GIMP. Is Irfanview the problem or will they just look like crap at 24bit?

First thanks for taking the time to write this up! Now...I get to step 6 and don't get a .CDDS file. The DOS window pops up for a second then closes and I get an error and TexToDDs text file in my A-10-UPGRADE folder. the error file is blank and the TexToDDs one says: TexToDDs.exe -noise <Source Tga file> <Dest dds file> <alpha decrease by miplevel> TexToDDs.exe <InDir> <extention> <OutDir> TexToDDs.exe -complex <InDir> <extention> <CDDS FileName> TexToDDs.exe -dump <CDDS FileName> <OutDir> TexToDDs.exe -single FileName format mip outfilename TexToDDs.exe -xml <Project FileName> <CDDS FileName> What type of file to you need to "add to file". I've tried .bmp, .tga, .dds, all with the same result as above. I must be missing something.

No teamspeak. I'm not in any rush either. If either you or ICE could find the time oneday to write something up that'd be great. I'll just run my skins at 1024x until then (3mb instead of 12). I'm just glad I found out what was causing the tearing I was having in missions that used alot of my skins.

Can someone explain in "dummy talk" how to convert skins to .cdds? I've been having some graphical issues myself since I started skinning and having alot of high-res skins ingame. I never even considered it was the skins until this thread...lol like I said "dummy talk"...

How about something less subtle...?

Well if my own private air force is going to have a color scheme, the support aircraft might as well get in the game too...

Not sure how I feel about this one. It uses basically the same pallet as my MAKO skin. My own private airforce has a color scheme apparently... lol

Bite me Protos...and I have uninstalled until the next release. Even if old skins don't ever work, this is an awesome contribution to lockon. Thanks for all your hard work Walmis!
