Strut

Thanks Stoney, but i think it will take a while yet, I dont like the current template im using because its got quite a few flaws that dont mix well with the PBR/ RoughMet texturing ( in my opinion), thanks to Frenchy / Tacka for making it, but im still waiting for RAZBAM to produce / release a template, apparently the model had changed a couple of years ago anyway.:dunno: Ive tried asking and dont seem to get anywhere.

The effect still looks pretty good there for the visor Sushy. great job mate !

Heres a generic RAAF 451 Squadron Spitfire from about April 1945 ,the squadron's crest consisted of a fawn coloured kangaroo with a Joey in the pouch firing a shanghai.

Love the skins Santus, and the lady pilots are pretty sexy as well !

Thanks Stoney, "Any chance of a generic 451 SQD skin for use on the Normandy map? " - I will do you one up tonight mate, wait out ! I better post this again as well : I have Updated the forum pictures at the start of this thread and the skins have been updated to RoughMet/PBR textures as at 17 April 2018.

This is very impressive Wunderwolf, it seems you have given DCS the potential for another "Great leap Forward" thanks for your efforts.

Thanks SkateZilla !

A very well done guys you have done yourselves proud, thanks for this great plane.

Do we / or should we make Mip Maps for Diff (Diffuse) and or RM (RoughMet) maps now ? I have never done them for the skins i have made, but I am very curious ?

Thanks SkateZilla.

Santus to answer your question i think your right the Spit is using PBR / RoughMet maps , i might be wrong but i cant see any Specular Maps in the game folders for the Spit. Im no "TechY" so i dont really know , but looking around the files that is my conclusion. If you want to see for yourself look in the games Spitfire Livery folder here : \DCS World\CoreMods\WWII Units\SpitfireLFMkIX\Liveries\SpitfireLFMkIX - the games "RAF Standard" Spitfire skin is using PBR/RoughMet maps, the rest of the games Spit Skins dont seem to have Specular maps or any referrence to them in thier Lua files. You can find the default Spitfire RoughMet maps in the zipped / compressed " SpitfireIXc" folder at \DCS World\CoreMods\WWII Units\SpitfireLFMkIX\Textures .

Thanks very much Mr Zweig and Gabuzomeu, i already have those, the ones i have were made by Tacca, the Template i was referring to is the official one that RAZBAM haven't released yet , I was hoping for some comment or answer by someone from RAZBAM, the last reference to this in this forum I can find was by Zeus back in 2016 saying that the official template was being held back because of somechanges.

Santus I asked the same question but was ignored. But i dont beleive so. I havnt noticed if there is a change in the Spit, il have a look though.

Does anyone have any idea if RAZBAM are going to release a M-2000c template in the near future ? I dont seem to be able to find much info in the threads about this.

For Zeus, or any of the RAZBAM blokes in the know,could you please inform us if there is going to be a Mirage Layers template / Paint kit released for the "skinners" anytime soon ? As one of them skinners im getting twitchy about my original skins which where based on Frenchy's "Jury rigged template" and would like to upgrade them to bring them up to scratch for the RoughMet improvement etc.

Yep Stoney, my daughter keeps me on my toes as well. Heres a link to the skins together finally : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?set_filter=Y&arrFilter_pf%5Bfiletype%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Bgameversion%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Bfilelang%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Baircraft%5D=&arrFilter_DATE_CREATE_1_DAYS_TO_BACK=&CREATED_BY=Strut&sort_by_order=TIMESTAMP_X_DESC&set_filter=Filter

Lets laugh before the Humour Police get us, funny stuff Hawkeye, excellent ! :thumbup:

Thanks Stoney, i must be going senile or something, anyway have rectified the skin and the right one is ready for download now. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?set_filter=Y&arrFilter_pf%5Bfiletype%5D=6&arrFilter_pf%5Bgameversion%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Bfilelang%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Baircraft%5D=&arrFilter_DATE_CREATE_1_DAYS_TO_BACK=&CREATED_BY=Strut&sort_by_order=TIMESTAMP_X_DESC&set_filter=Filter
