The support for BC7 is already available in the engine of DCS: I've tried converting some DXT1 to BC7 and the texures are perfectly rendered in the Model Viewer. The main problem is that memory requirements are doubled: DXT1+mipmaps: 10,7M (worst quality but the standard here...) BC7+Mipmaps:21,6M (the same of DXT5+mipmaps but with a much better quality) So, yes, using all BC7 textures can improve dramatically the visual quality, but at a cost: you must have at least a TitanX to play decently...

Even if usually I don't like so much the fictional skins, they are really nice. Since I'm working on a Danish livery with glossy finish, I have a pair of question for you: *What is doing the texture declared for the slot 11 in the description.lua? Maybe the specular for DAMAGED? {"LNS_VIG_EXT_FUS_L", 0, "lns_vig_fuselage_l", true}; <--DIFFUSE MAP {"LNS_VIG_EXT_FUS_L", 1, "lns_vig_ext_fus_l_n", true}; <--NORMAL MAP {"LNS_VIG_EXT_FUS_L", 2, "lns_vig_fuselage_l_s", true}; <--SPECULAR MAP {"LNS_VIG_EXT_FUS_L", 5, "lns_vig_fus_damage", true}; <--DIFFUSE MAP (DAMAGED) {"LNS_VIG_EXT_FUS_L", 10, "lns_vig_fus_damage_nrm", true}; <--NORMAL MAP (DAMAGED) {"LNS_VIG_EXT_FUS_L", 11, "vig_specular_color", true}; <-- ?????????? *What program do you use for creating specular map? I'm using Paint.net and GIMP, but I'm a dummy when working with channels... This is the process I used for creating a specular for glossy: -Desaturate the image. -Select only the GREEN channel and make Invert (in GIMP there are 2 options:Invert and Invert value with different behaviour...). -Start adjusting BLUE channel for 0 blue (totally black?) -RED channel doesn't do nothing

WIP

Hi Skatezilla, is it possible specify JSON file for specific livery? I mean, there is a way to declare in description.lua a custom JSON to load by the skin?

Today´s mission (maverick test)

Mhm, the desert? Waiting a proper theater ;)

Thx, I will make public when done. I must still verify in-game looking and other little things. I'm not working with the paintkit, but on original DDS textures: the paintkit have too much layers and I'm lost with it... I hope a stripped paintkit will come out soon for this great bird. In the meantime, another one: #37068 with day-glo

Showing some love to the Viggen... Started skin for AJS-37 #37078 with Hi visibility markings. BTW, why the a dedicated Viggen section in Mods and Apps-Livery/Skinning is not present?

Ok, thanks, I've also found this that confirm only 2 liveries: about akktu stakki I was confused by a screenshot of an old Viggen mod...:doh:

Hi, in 2.1.1 I have only 2 skins: Bare Metal and camo 37. I remember that other liveries were included, like Akktu Stakki for example.
