While I missed a shot at providing these as an official offering, I can still get them out for general release. Should get them uploaded this weekend.

As soon as I posted the above pic I found a decent reference

Started work on 1 of the two tails Edwards AFB did. Been tricky with only one side showing lol.

Pretty fricken sweet man! Your templates are helping me a ton and these skins will make a wonderful addition.

With the activation of a new Aggressor squadron, some new skins were needed. Will be uploading these shortly.

Wait, was that MilesD VR pointing device, PointCTRL?

+1 very much needed

If this module included Block 25 thru 50/52 along the same time frame it would a very popular module and very similar the way HB did the F-14.

Add that and longer burst from the AI would look very realistic.

Not to nit-pick, but a TER is a Triple Ejector Rack for bombs and the LAU-88 is the triple rail launcher for the AGM-65, sorry I had to :music_whistling::D

I had an issue with the same template and it had to do with the color profile. I cannot remember the exact method I used to change but if I remember I will post it up. It was obvious when I tried to paste something into that PSD from another.

Did I miss something? Same as below, which is a heavily modified test bird. http://www.f-16.net/g3/f-16-photos/album38/album66/90-0835

From one 2W1 to another, :thumbup:

That looks like 90-835 which is a Block 50 http://www.f-16.net/aircraft-database/F-16/airframe-profile/3207/

That's correct, it's a variant of the LAU-131/LAU-68. The LAU-68F/A & LAU-131A/A are about 11 inches longer than the LAU-68D/A & LAU-131/A. https://www.arnolddefense.com/product/lau-131-a/ Hopefully these new versions get added.

I'm thinking the Desert livery will be the first set to be finished.

Having been stationed at Nellis and TDY there too many times to count, I have a laundry list of items just for that base alone that should have been there from day one. So I very much wish for an update to the NTTR.

416th FLTS Skins or something else?

Playing with the normal maps and adding the reinforcement plates. Now if I could remove the AIFF antennas... Just something I'm experimenting with, haven't decided if I will add them in or not.

It turns out the codes given by that site don't match up well with FS numbers. I've got some good photos so that sounds like a more fool proof way to get the color match I'm looking for. Thanks for the input!

So I'm still a bit rusty on getting the colors correct for aircraft liveries as before I would simply use some scale model references and sample the colors from it. Recently I started work on a Standard USAF livery for my skins and started using the official template for the base color. I then discovered a website that would give me the hex code for most federal standard colors. https://encycolorpedia.com/ I decided to use this to plug these into Photoshop for what I hoped would be more accurate colors, but that doesn't seem to be the case. This is the livery using the DCS Default colors. This the livery using the Federal Standard converted into the Hex Code. Seems a little washed out to me, thoughts?
