Mapping request for Belsimtek

[jocko417]

I just discovered there is only one set of gun port textures on the DIF file.

 

Please, please, PLEASE change the mapping to include gun port textures for BOTH sides of the nose, not just one texture mapped to both sides as it it right now.

 

I know you probably only had bare metal textures in mind when originally making the model, etc., but some of us may want to make camo skins for the Sabre and if the camo colours are different on L vs R sides the gun ports won't match the blast pane on one side because we have only one texture for both sides right now. :(

 

Please Belsimtek, while we are still in beta, can you find some spare real estate on the DIF texture and add a separate area to map another set of gun ports to so we can have left and right?

 

Please and Thank You :smilewink:

there is 2....(unless you mean the actual cannon round pathways, in which case, those aren't painted in Any camo scheme I've seen)

I don't mean the exterior of the gun blast panes, but rather the interior "channels" as you say. There is only one texture, the smoky bits top left, above the "red" blast pane in your DIF file.

 

They were painted the same colour as the blast pane itself, and would vary depending on the colour of the surrounding camo pattern:

 

4ATAF camo pattern as used by both RAF and RCAF during late fifties/early sixties:

 

 

Ports painted the same colour as the blast pane, Dark Green on port side

 

 

Extra Dark Sea Grey on starboard side

 

 

 

RAF Sabre, same camo pattern

 

Some more:

 

 

 

 

And I almost forgot the Luftwaffe!

Plenty of room to add another set of gun port textures near wing textures ;)

 

HINT ;)

 

Oh, I should also add, after spending some time getting to know where everything is on the DIF and seeing it in the game I have to say this is the most accurate F-86F Sabre model I've ever had the pleasure to play with. Kudos to BST. :thumbup:

I'm getting some ideas of paint schemes now...

[Vlerkies]

I saw SAAF'er camo and couldn't help myself :)

I can see differences in the color of the ones on the line (shadowing makes them look like they are painted, but they prolly arent.)

 

the only ones that look like they are definitely painted are the Museum displays and Civilian Owned Airshow Airframes..

 

It'd prolly be pointless to paint the gun blast panel cannon ports.

Nope. They were painted. Trust me. ;) Both my old man and an uncle on my mom's side flew the camo ones in the RCAF. I've been around pictures and slides of RCAF Sabres for years.

 

 

Look at the bare metal fuel cap, the interior of the nose wheel well door, the nose wheel, bare metal tanks the tug passenger is sitting on and then look at the gun ports.

 

 

Bare metal drop tank, painted gun ports.

 

 

 

Ready to be made into beer cans in '63. Worn areas on gun blast pane showing bare metal, gun ports are painted dark green.

 

The camo pattern was a standard 4th Allied Tactical Airforce (4ATAF) NATO paint scheme in use by at least four NATO countries' air forces, Canada, UK, Italy, Germany.

 

I have a boat load of Sabre pics on my computer, unfortunately colour pics from the fifties and early sixties are rare, as you can imagine. :)

Just found a couple more.

Ker-bump for another set of gun ports :)
