Ofc you've never seen lightning like that, because in real life it doesn't look like that. I don't really understand why you are surprised with that effect, have you ever flew in thunderstorm conditions in DCS before? If that was your 1st time, you should get used to it, because this is how it looks like in DCS, it's normal. It will probably change in DCS 2.5 (someday...).

It's normal tbh :P.

Well, as I promised, here it is, entire folder with Polish F-16 pictures (some of them belong to my friend). There is a lot of tiger scheme pictures, because as you probably know (or you don't) this is our demo team. To be honest, to "fix" the basic paint scheme, you just need to add country marks on top of the wings, and as I said before, do some "adjustments" with colors and their intensity. About MiG-29, to the skins you already made, add country marks on top of the wings and check out the skins made by Jack and myszak, here (1st post) -> https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=132642 Btw, I think they did a pretty good job with these skins, maybe you can put them in as official ones, I think they wouldn't mind that, or even would be pleased with that :). F-16 pics -> https://1drv.ms/f/s!AsK2G4CFeRYElBa8qAgkCRUL9XXJ I think I didn't forget about anything (I know about the patches, still working on it) and I'm looking forward to see updated version of skins :).

Little update: For now I'm collecting the best pictures I can get, the highest possible resolution with as much details as possible, I think I will send it to you guys tommorow. About the "darker outline", it could be a bit lighter, and to the light gray color you can even add some blueish "filter", but just a tiny bit. About patches, I'll see what I can do. P.S. I know, this 3D model still remember good old times of Lock On, so I'm not expecting any fireworks ;)

Ok so, here is the modified db_countries.lua https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AH2DcfEo8oyPWQ8&cid=04167985801BB6C2&id=4167985801BB6C2%212580&parId=root&o=OneUp Copy and paste it here X:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts\Database About F-16 and MiG-29. Some time ago our law has changed, so on some pics our F-16s doesn't have country marks. Those are old ones, so I agree, this might have confused you. Not your fault. Here are some up to date pics. This is the newest one, our own tiger camo And here is the "old" camo And EVERY single one has the same camo, so we have only 2 variants, tiger (1st pic) and and stained one (2nd pic). I can post more pics here, or send directly to you baltic_dragon, for more reference.

Well, I changed db_countries.lua by myself, I can post modified file here if you want me to. I will post some pictures of our F-16s ASAP, when I'll get home.

Both F-16 and MiG-29 have country marks on the bottom, but on the top those marks are missing, they should be on both sides of the wings. And I know it's not really important, but I pay attention to details, so if we have those skins already, let's make them correct according to reality.

I took off with 70% of fuel and no weapons, but no WEP as well, and I had enough power and altitude after "ski jump" to safely fly away.

uscstaylor calm down, I have someone already working on it ;) But it doesn't mean Hawkeye or someone else can't try.

Well, for me deactivating with double dash "--" didn't work, so I had to change the letters from uppercase to lowercase like Charlie01 said here https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3171704&postcount=13. Lines posted above should look like this (at least for me): {"texture usa-znak-lightgray.tga f2 g0",0,"empty",true}; {"texture usa-znak-darkgray.tga f2 g0",0,"empty",true};

Of course I LOVE IT! My favorite plane in the world, there is no better. I can get some more screens :D.

This screenshot would be better without double marks don't you think? :) Maybe you can tell me how to fix that...again :(. BTW. If you want to take some nice screenshots, maybe we can fly together with everyone who has the mod and take some shots. EDIT: I FOUND THE FIX!

Thank you Sir, problem solved. I only had to put the texture to the folder.

I'm having a small problem. All of the skins work fine BUT, canopy is still yellow, doesn't matter which skin I choose. Any ideas? I'm using 1.5.6 and default F-16 model, this might be an issue?

I'm flying this mod for fun, and I've noticed I CAN'T open refueling boom. Could you guys check and tell me if it works for you?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Nice one Nero :D.

Finally you understand, that's why we need new external model, with all the arguments to make it work "pretty good". Happy Cavin, if you have original 3ds max file for the cockpit, we can at least get to work MFDs and RWR. That'd be good start.

I just checked, the cockpit is still in the wrong place. It's too far moved forward and too high. When you "open" canopy, it goes through the seat in the cockpit. This is the canopy in the process of opening. If we move it to the right place, we can see 2 cockpits, 1st custom, and 2nd of an F-16s model seen from outside. And here we need that argument #114 to hide cockpit of F-16s model, to see only 1 custom cockpit from F1 view. The problem is, this 3D model is from times of Lock On, when no one ever thought about custom cockpits, so there was no need to implement this argument for every single 3D model. Now you get my point or still not? Maybe someone more "social" can explain that in easier way. I nominate CubanAce :D

Happy Cavin = Hellaspilot? Because I think it's true. There is no way to explain where did you get original .max file, and in entry.lua developer name says "Hellaspilot". This would explain everything how you solved uscstaylor's problems. Hellaspilot said some time ago, that he will keep improving this mod, and here is reworked cockpit, and I'm pretty sure it's till WIP and it will get better. :D Sorry for my theories... Those are probably wrong.

If he did, I'm really curious how? F-16 model doesn't have argument #114 which is responsible for cockpit visibility from outside. Without this argument, 2 cockpits are visible and 1st is on top of 2nd. P.S. Maybe not on top but literally inside.

Does the cockpit have the right place? Or it's still too high OVER the plane? And question to Happy Calvin, what version of DCS are you using? I guess 1.5.4 (unfortunately)

I'm still going strong to solve my problem, and because of that I have an idea. You should try to add possibility to connect your phone/tablet via USB.

Well, I've done everything correctly, but it doesn't work for me. Any ideas? And please, don't tell me to check once again, because I've done that couple of times, with no luck...

So maybe look at the date of posts and then write something... It's been 2 years, a lot of things has changed in files structure and texturing.

Wow, cockpit and external model looks very promising. Idk why but for me, external model for MiG is waaay better than model for Su-22, like no details or something...
