Usually USAF Strike Eagles don't fly without pylons or CFT's, it would still be interesting if we were able to remove both of these. However, looking at other RAZBAM modules, they tend to aim for realistic loadouts, so I doubt they would allow the removal of the CFT's.

DDS files can't be edited/opened with any GIMP version, unless you install the .dds plugin.

1-2 years is reasonable for you? The Hornet, by Eagle Dynamics, took 5 or 6 years to Early Access release.

Zuerst muss ein 3d model geladen werden, die meisten befinden sich als EDM Format unter Bazar/World/Shapes, oder auch unter CoreMods/aircraft/Modulname/Shapes. Die Liveries oder Skins für die models aus dem Bazar Ordner befinden sich in Bazar/Liveries (hauptsächlich alle AI bzw. Bodeneinheiten) und CoreMods/aircraft/Modulname/Liveries für die aus dem CoreMods geladenen models. Um das 3d model zu laden gehe oben links auf "Files", "Load model" und navigiere zu einer der genannten Shapes Ordner. Danach neben Files auf "View" klicken, "Dialogs", "Liveries Dialog" und suche das geladene 3d model in dem Fenster aus. Die Skins für die models aus dem CoreMods Ordnern befinden sich im Liveries Dialog ganz unten. Normalerweise sollte das Liveries Dialog Fenster mit jedem Neustart des ModelViewers angezeigt werden und die gleiche Größe beibehalten. Das all diese Optionen allerdings nicht funktionieren ist bekannt.

Der ModelViewer, welcher sich im DCS World OpenBeta/bin Ordner befindet, bietet sich am besten an um eine Vorschau für Skins zu bekommen. Dort gibt es auch eine Einstellung für das updaten der Texturen ohne das Programm zu schließen, jedoch funktioniert diese im Moment nicht.

Colors look indeed a lot better to me now!

So far, I think, this looks absolutely fantastic! :thumbup:

Current progress so far. Getting it as accurate as possible is a real challenge as these gray colors are difficult to distinguish from each other on most images.

Perhaps the Jettison knob is still set to one of the other settings than SAFE? On other airframes this will block the release of armament/weaponry.

I have already collected these and prefer real life images. I have found some others that will definitely work.

I'm still looking for real images about the top of the aircraft, specifically the wings.

Great skin but I think the light blue is way too bright. Also, where have you got the pilot's helmet textures from?

Looking great! Have you thought about this 60th Anniversary livery as well? Definitely contains a lot of time, effort and rethinking but it would be a nice addition to your skin pack!

I'm still working on these, while also finishing the blue F/A-18C NAWDC livery.

F/A-18C NSAWC from NAS Fallon in multiple variants.

All you need to do is to take the Blue Angels texture, open it with GIMP (you will need to export it to a different format as GIMP can't open dds. textures) and use the text tool and write your name on it. Export it and put the new texture into the Blue Angels livery folder or make a new one.

Already done by someone else. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3526873&postcount=153

Well, I expected that it already would as I was told that it will, not when though.

Yes it is!

The file is now uploaded and available on the User Files. It included all three skins, CAG, Line and the original F-18 HARV. Pilot and Patch textures are based on Home Fries' work. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3300854/

You can make a separate background layer and fill it with the color you need, get back to the original RoughMet layer and use the color erase tool, take a color sample from the RoughMet and basically remove it's original paint.

F18C_2_DIF_RoughMet Also take a look at the AO layer for the center pylon on F18C_1_DIFF. But I will guess with the ability to remove pylons ED will take a look at that themselves and change it.

Here are four images representing the F-18 HARV (Phase One), without any external modifications, in DCS as a skin for the Lot 20 Hornet. For those interested in this paint scheme, there will also be a CAG & Line version of the HARV livery with dynamic bortnumbers!
