What is the file called for the fuselage numbers on the Su-25T?

Are you using any mods that effect the haze in any way? Only time I've had my lights not show up is when haze is on basic.

Haze must be set to advanced... :D

Don't forget LOBS MAY be released as a stand-alone, and if that is the case, then we will still need all the mods for FC we can get...so keep up the good work Rock!

Check out Are88 for some classic jet on jet anime action... http://www.tv-links.co.uk/listings/3/4116

The only way to settle this is by PM'ing me some topless shots of your girlfriend for verification purposes. :joystick:

Thanks Wild Bill! I skin for myself, but it's always nice to hear others like what I'm putting out. :D

BUMP.... Here's a rockin' video while we wait....:joystick: http://www.patricksaviation.com/videos/Guest/27/

Just do what I did, download GIMP (freeware program like photoshop) and a template and just start screwing around. :thumbup: You are welcome! :D

Okay let's see...Normally LO stores skins in .cdds files, but those skins can be overridden by placing a .bmp or .tga (with the same file name as appears in the .cdds) in bazar/temptextures. No matter where you put the new skin it all begins with a template which is a .psd file that contains separate layers for things like panel lines, weathering, camo/pattern, details etc. The .psd is where the REAL work is in skinning. They are quite laborious to make and my hats off to those who have dedicated the time and effort to make them. Making skins is easy. Making templates is hard. So if you just sent me your mod that either includes the .bmp/.tga files or a .cdds with the skins (which the skin files can be extracted from), I'd still have to make a template in order to make new skins. Who made the skins originally? Do they not have a template? You might want to get in touch with someone who has made a new model and ask them about the process of making a template from the 3ds max files. I have no idea how that works.

The first one is at lockonfiles and is listed as winter punisher or something like that. The last two you mention I haven't released. If you have to have them I could look in my files when I get home tonight and see if I still have them (I should), and upload them somewhere for you.

I've never done a template before...is that what you're asking? I'm not sure I'd even know where to start...does 3ds max output a general layout for the skin or what?

HAHA someone was joking on me for making those Transformers skins...so I gave them something to really joke on!

test/unreleased:

wow I just realized it's been almost a year since I started skinning...I got to looking at the evolution of my work, and I was surprised how many I've cranked out. I guess I must like it :) I thought it might be interesting to post some shots of my releases in no particular order, and then some of my test/unreleased skins. Enjoy! Released: more to follow shortly...

Sure. Just shoot me a PM when you get it together and I'll see what I can do for you.

Thanks. Too bad I haven't heard anything from the guy who requested it. He posted on several lockon forums requesting a skin and then disappeared. A joke maybe? Either way it was an interesting skin to do...

It's very close to end of August and it is hard to wait...any updates?

Wunderbar!!!

I ended up just turning auto updates off, and do it manually once a week...problem solved!

Who cares if any of the Mirage series were the best airplanes ever built?!?! They are beautiful, high-performance military aircraft. It's okay to like an aircraft even if you don't think it's the best ever made(like I love the Jaguar...for no good reason I can think of!). I think it's in poor taste to comment negatively on this mod or the people making it. They have every right to want to showcase the aircraft of their home country, and we should all be grateful that there are people in the community who spend their time and effort on mods for us all to enjoy. It's not like you have the right to criticize like you paid money for it. Please remember in this case, if you don't have anything nice to say, better to say nothing at all. Now bring on the Mirages!!! :D

The two-seat version(where two people fly in the same plane, one in front and one in back) of this mod only works in 1.02.

hehe... :D

How about low-vis...
