uscstaylor Posted January 3, 2017 Author Posted January 3, 2017 Not sure I'll have to look into it tonight
uscstaylor Posted January 3, 2017 Author Posted January 3, 2017 OK Gents Here's the skin pack for the USAF Thunderbird's which is JSGME compliant for both 1.5.4 and 2.0 versions. This might work in 1.5.5 as well I just don't have a way to test it. thanks Download: https://www.mediafire.com/?d144bqf6rcdr0px
=OPS=Slider Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) I just checked, it works perfectly with no problem with DCS 1.5.5. EDIT: Ok there is small a problem, tail number is still on. Edited January 3, 2017 by =OPS=Slider1709
ST0RM Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Thank you. We're finally able to populate the T-Bird hangar at Nellis. And Creech during a practice session.
Sierra99 Posted January 4, 2017 Posted January 4, 2017 NP gents enjoy! Seriously, I'm not sure you realize how many people are celebrating tonight because we finally have Thunderbirds on the ramp at Nellis. They were extremely conspicuous in their absence. Now if we can just get that DCS:F-16 off the back burner...Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

uscstaylor Posted January 4, 2017 Author Posted January 4, 2017 Cool anytime you use it and have nice pics Im always looking for nice screens. thanks
Sierra99 Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 uscstaylor, OK a couple of observations...NOT COMPLAINTS... 1.) There appears to be a slight issue with the RED on the Stabilizer. Not sure if this is because the skins were designed for a different model or what. Not a complaint, just letting ya know... 2.) To the Best of my knowledge,The "Lets Roll" Banner was only worn for a short time and only on Thunderbird 1. The rest had field of flags on both sides as usual... 3.) Aircraft Numbers should be on side of intakes not Vertical Stab. Other than that Beautiful!

=OPS=Slider Posted January 5, 2017 Posted January 5, 2017 I have a question, is it possible to get the canopy like in these skins for the default ones? I've tried probably everything but I have no idea how to change it :(.

Aircraft Numbers should be on side of intakes not Vertical Stab. Other than that Beautiful! Sierra Here's some background on the origin of these skins and why a few things are the way they are. These skins were made by the Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC (http://www.virtualthunderbirds.com) back in 2004 for their team and the public, so they're 13 years old at this point. #1 Not sure about the red on the tail. The version of the skins I have from back in the day don't look like this. However the blade antenna on the base of the tail is white because it shares some UV space on another part of the jet. #2 The Let's Roll was on all demonstration jets (I thought anyway) back in 2006. The version of these skins I have is with the flag panel which were used in '04-'05 and '07-'08. They then switched to their new Block 52 model at the end of '08 so support for these old skins was dropped. #3 And the number was placed on the tail instead of the side of the intake due to UV mapping issues with the model making it difficult to put it in the real position. Hope this clears up a few things. Edited January 5, 2017 by Blaze i7 7700K | 32GB RAM | GTX 1080Ti | Rift CV1 | TM Warthog | Win 10 "There will always be people with a false sense of entitlement.

uscstaylor Posted January 6, 2017 Author Posted January 6, 2017 Thanks Blaze Just so every one knows I found these online and corrected them so they would work in 1.5.4 and 1.5.5 I'm not the painter and I want to thank whoever it was that did take the time to make them. Feel free guys to fix them or repaint them if needed...
