Zapping used to piss off the handlers in the RN considerably, they got the job of scrubbing the crap off, or repainting it. Mind you, they did it to any errant foreign jets that landed on a UK carrier too, usually for emergencies, in which case they got the full works. Sensible foreign pilots landed and pissed off as quick as they could - avoiding the embarrassment on landing at home with some pretty awful 'graffitti'. Dont think it goes on now at all, the jets are too damn expensive and the paint jobs are very specialised. Happy days - not that I ever did anything like that - MUCH !!!

I use an ancient software called PhotoImpact10,it does everything I need but it does struggle with 8k textures. I work in bmp format using Paint.NET to convert stuff to dds for the game. If my software struggles I reduce the texture to 4k and it handles that perfectly. All I need is something to work from, a base. I prefer a simple white livery which I can manipulate in as many ways as I need. I imagine there will be others who will also do some skins for it, its an iconic aircraft ansd it should be quite popular.

Happy to oblige chaps ... if you can make it work I will do something for you, willingly.

Could you do a Civilian version of the EC121 ? - The game needs some older style airliners and a Super Constellation would be a super fit for early scenarios.

Sorry mate, these are really poor quality textures just slapped on, same single texture for both sides and no real detailing. I looked at them when they firsdt came out and binned them. You could do it yourself, just swap out the in game texture for a plain olive green one, thats the best anyone is every going to be able to do with these unles they rebuild the models and start again.

Nice, had a ride in a few of these whilst working with USMC, looking forward to seeing it in the game.

That is a superb C17 model, grab it today.

Post WW2 RAF potentials - very much a WIP for now, I wont take it any further until the finished mod is released. Image and paint job upgraded. These lighter liveries are going to be quite hard to get right, the darker WW2 paint jobs hide things that only become aparent when you go light. But nothing that cant be fixed with patience. This image is just paint slapped on the right places, no panel lines or wear, that may come later if there is a decent psd.

Are you guys planning a psd template with this ? There are quite a few different liveries that could be added, even one for the proposed Lancaster operation in the Pacific War - if it had gone that far (It didnt and I dont think the livery was ever employed in any numbers).

Created a short mission - 1 x Lancaster with Tallboy, take off, circuit and land back at Babushara. Ramp to Take Off - okay (Noticed the tail wheel never leaves the ground, the aircraft rises from 3 wheels on the ground - not sure that is right !!) After take off aircraft turns to right or left - drops the tallboy and the Port Outer engine stops - aircraft crosses coast to head back to airfield but never makes it, crashes into the sea. Does not appear to happen with other weapon loads but still playing with it (Edit later - it also happens with other loads, sometimes it drops the weapons first but not always, the port outer engine always stops) (AND STILL LOVING IT !)

Seriously good - well done boys. Roundels you know about - the only issue I had was trying to get it off a too short runway with a Tallboy slung under it, it crashed the mission. Otherwise good on long runways.

I have just upgraded to 11 and it needed a couple of very minor changes - your images are not being shown here in the UK so I had to guess a couple of things, one very small mistake (more a misunderstanding on my part than an actual mistake) which I quickly sorted and it still works perfectly.

Rudel - Many thanks for this thread. My C drive was getting 'fat'and I had to move my Saved Games to another SSD drive before it blew up !! - this crib was absolutely perfect, nice and simple, easy to follow. Bravo Zulu mate.

No Liveries are showing apart from the default. 23 Oct - Problem idientified and resolved.

We have more than enough Civil Jet Liners now, how about some prop driven crates, large and small. You make em and I'll paint em !!
