No, you should not use existing Mipmaps. Select generate Mip-maps and you can select 5 from the dropdown.

yufighter Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 (edited) The official template does not contain the textures marked in the picture. Where to find their PSD files? Where it can be downloaded 4096x2048 MiG21Bis_Misc_Dif.psd file? Edited November 26, 2016 by yufighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rudel- Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 They were not meant to be apart of the kit.

drPhibes Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 The second search result (on the site we're probably not allowed to mention or link to directly due to EULA-stuff) points to a file named "DCS_LNS_MiG-21Bis_Official-Template.rar". Which sounds pretty official to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drPhibes Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Ok, so you want the templates, but you don't want to download them from the only place where they're currently available. Then I can't help you. And for the record, the file mentioned earlier is identical (verified with crc-64) to the .rar that I downloaded from the leatherneck site some time ago. Just saying...

312_JS Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 No, I want template, that I know is official. I thought it was obvious, but maybe it's my poor English. Thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komemiute Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Sorry for a bit of Necroposting but... is the folder Goods of any use? Activating it increase the detail but makes the texture also a lot darker so... Useful? Just something useful to the original makers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

=DECOY= Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I have to admit I am really good at making skins. and have done for years. BUT this is the first time i have had to muck around with PSD files, so i can simply MAKE a skin for my squad. Why is this one so hard. Couldn't you help the community out and sort these PSD's out for us, after you you did make the module didnt you !

dFlow Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 But it would be great to have some good templates. Since this is a popular plane it would make sense ... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GumidekCZ Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 What I’m using is the "OLD" PSD templates. Problem is that, it is little bit messy inside of them and for example for landing gears there no template at all. Result after 1 year of working around is pretty good liveries, but it has its dark side: time spend at PC, improving old/new textures to look better in DCS 2.5, tuning the colors to be most accurate. All this related with tuning Roughmet. For example since Roughmet include red shadow channel, the original texture shadows are not need as much as in DCS 1.5 was. This week I will release refined Czech "2500" livery and brand new "9801" if -Rudel- will not respond to my offer as standard module liveries. (with collecting photographic documentation, all the markings, special fonts, camouflage, realistic colors, Roughmet tuning, ... it take 180 hours per livery.
