jocko417 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Will be (finally) getting around to updating all my Sabre skins over the next few days, now that we have a final version of BST's F-86F. Many improvements added since last updates, tweaked metal and camo paint spec files, added some more cockpit details and most skins will have period helmet art included, based on what I've been able to find during my research. Added more weathering effects, worn paint, staining etc. Normal maps redone for RCAF and SAAF Sabres to reflect different fuselage access panels on the Orenda engined Mk.5 and 6. Many thanks to Skatezilla for his continued template updates :thumbup: Not sure why the screens look so crappy, must be some sort of Photobucket BS. Anyway, Watch this space...

jocko417 Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 (edited) By the way... These new versions have all been tested in DCS World 1.5, They should work in DCS 2.0 (Nellis Test Map) as well, but may have some small glitches (ie, I noticed the gear indications are blank for some reason) until the F-86F is brought up to date in 2.0.

New skin - Sabre Mk.6 23416 of No. 414 (Black Knight) Squadron. Had this one kicking around, thought I'd include it. It's rare to find photos of 414 Sabres during the camo era, not long after the camo paint dried, 414 was sent back to Canada to switch to the all-weather interceptor role with Air Defense Command/NORAD. The tail art plan may have been to add the knight's helm in future but any shots I have of 414 camo Sabres have just a plain white tail flash... Here she is, awaiting approval from ED...

jocko417 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Awww CRAP. ;) Ok, that looks like it's using the spec file instead of the dif. I'll take a look. EDIT: Fixed it. had a "0" where a "2" should be so it was loading the spec file as a dif, as I thought. Corrected: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1412278/ NOTE: I changed the name of the folder to match the naming convention, delete the old folder before updating. Old folder has underscores (ie: 439_RCAF_23513), new one doesn't. Edited June 6, 2016 by jocko417 Fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocko417 Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 By the way, thanks for the heads up, I'm only one guy and 'beta' testing takes a while... and I'm only human ;) I should also remind everyone that some liveries will have aluminum drop tanks on a camo bird, this is intentional, based on how the particular aircraft appeared in period photos. RCAF Sabres usually wore the 120 gal tanks as standard equipment so they would usually be painted to match the aircraft camo. Sometimes the 200 gal tanks were bare aluminum, as they were only used for long transit flights, like on the way to and from gunnery camp in Sardinia. Couple more RCAF ones to update and then it's the RAF/AMI/FAP/USAF's turn. :) Will also be updating the cockpit texture pack. There's some more details added that only shine if you overwrite the default cockpit textures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
