WOW! Love it!

Hi all, I'd just like to address any concerns regarding the "rivet counting" holding up any other features or liveries. This is NOT the case. Unfortunately, it's due to me falling quite ill for the later half of 2020 and the start of 2021. I'm on the mend now and we should start seeing more livery fixes as well as new additions to both the Cat and Viggen as I'm able to ramp up. Thank you for your patience and I do apologize for all the delays! Ensamvarg

Try refreshing the post and let me know if still doesn't work.

Dear all, Thank you very much for your patience! With so many outstanding entries you certainly made us work to pick the winners. The attention to detail, creativity and time you all put in to these, made the decision great fun and a major challenge at the same time. We knew it would be hard, with so many talented skinners out there, but we didn't think it would be this hard! Due to the extraordinary quality of your submissions we have no choice but to include both winner and runner up in to the official stock of liveries. Winner will now receive 2 Heatblur modules of their choice. Runner Ups will receive 1 Heablur module of their choice. I would like to thank all the artists who submitted entries and all of the Heatblur members who agonized over each category to pick a winner. We also want to thank the great partners at the DCS Livery Art Group for this great collaboration. It would not have happened without the good people over there so please, if you haven't already, go say hi. You can find them here! Without further delay, I am very pleased to present the Winner and Runner Up entries of each category. F-14A Winner: @_YaeSakura_ F-14A Runner Up: @Shmoo42 F-14B Winner: @Shmoo42 F-14B Runner Up: @Jack AJS37 Winner: @wolfthrower AJS37 Runner Up: @000rick000 Please join us in congratulating the winning artists and celebrate their fantastic work! If you want to see all the entries you can find them here! I will be contacting the winners and runner ups using the PM system so we can iron out the details to get your wonderful liveries in to DCS. If you did not win, please do not despair. There will be more opportunities to compete, collaborate and create with us in a not too distant future. Should you have any questions about the competition please do not hesitate to PM me. Finally, I would like to take the opportunity to thank all of you for your continued support, dedication and commitment you have shown us all these years. It is greatly appreciated, it is what motivates us and keeps us going as we strive to make the best and most accurate modules we possibly can. As we continue to unfold our development roadmap, we hope you stay along for the adventures to come! Ensamvarg & the rest of the Heatblur team

Hello everyone! Wanted to drop a note and thank everyone for their submissions. We are blown away at the number of amazing liveries and you made our job of choosing a winner very difficult. Bravo!! Each and every one of you should know that we truly appreciate the time, effort and creativity that went in to making these. You are all winners in my book. We will now spend some time discussing the entries internally and hope to reach a decision soon. Thank you again for all that you do to make our modules look so amazing.

Not sure about the sleeping part. It took someone almost 2 years to spot it and report the mistake. Fixing these now. Please keep the reports coming.

Fixed! Thank you for the report!

There will be more official liveries added on a rolling basis as they get done. We focused on LR-67 equipped F-14A's for this version and we have some more being worked on. As the other A's are ready we will add more of those appropriate liveries as well. This is far from the final amount of liveries that will be available.

Reserved for future announcements.

Ran in to a delay but should be fixed soon. (Fingers crossed)

Thanks for that! Added the wings. Not sure how I managed to miss copying those. :) Fixed.

No murder. We appreciate the reports. :)

Hahaha. Thanks for the report. We believe that the bug has been ID'ed and should be fixed soon. I'll take a look at the vent.

Just to clarify for Southernbear. The ones currently available are made by the community. The official liveries will come as the A model launches and in the weeks following.

Unfortunately, this requires code changes and won't be as easy as other fixes. :(

Thanks! This has been fixed and will be part of our next push.

Yep. Got that one too. I basically made each side have a single color and it showed all areas that use the other side for it's textures. :) It's in our pipeline and we hope to have it fixed in the next patch but no promises.

They're pretty recent. I've started collecting them all in to more organized space where we can put any future updates. I noticed speed was sometimes an issue from the previous repository, especially for us on the U.S side of the server. It will continue to grow as I update with more of these kind of templates should they be useful to people. I'll put the RIO body on the list to investigate. We were able to do the helmet so it should be possible but won't know for sure until it's been given a proper look.

Unfortunately, the issues around the tail would require substantial reworking of the UV's. :( Can't promise for sure that will/would be an easy and quick fix (if at all). I've added this template which isn't perfect for every situation but I hope can help a little bit. You can find it in the template repo here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ICHqWDSY4626tnhPJUvKD6-11Yln1uh9?usp=sharing It's in the Templates/F14B/Stripe folder. Screenshots of the template attached to this post.

Thanks! Found that one when the initial ones were reported and will be fixed at the same time. :)

Hi there. I'm working on gathering all the files in a location that has better speeds. You can find it here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ICHqWDSY4626tnhPJUvKD6-11Yln1uh9?usp=sharing

Thanks for reporting! We will fix ASAP.
