Home Fries Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Some screen shots of CAG birds (66% complete): VA-34 Blue Blasters VA-52 Knightriders VA-75 Sunday Punchers (CAG) VA-75 CO VA-196 Main Battery (1990) VA-196 (1995) VMA(AW)-332 Moonlighters Most squadron packs will include eight skins: one CAG and seven line birds, allowing unique aircraft in large strike packages. Each skin has a regular version (like you see here) and a weathered variant for desert climates. All markings are based on historical A-6E aircraft, including serial numbers. I may end up splitting VA-196 into 1990 and 1995 skin packs due to size contraints; to be determined. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tackle Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Patience! Uploading a few files is not as easy as we may think. And they are BIG too! This simply can not be done in a few days or even weeks. I´m sure we´ll get them some day though - maybe as a nice christmas surprise :smilewink: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home Fries Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 With the Fuselage 1 and 2 templates, what is the purpose of the first template, and is there a reason to have two templates instead of putting the livery patterns in the second template? I read the instructions that say to do the livery in the first template and then copy the merged image over to the second template, but between the shading in both templates this seems to bake the texture more than it should. Is there a recommended setting for removing shading/baking in the first template prior to importing the image to the second template? Lastly, Why would we want to put our decals on in the second template after the first round of baking? I would think it would be better to put the decals on in the first template. Better yet, put everything in a single huge template (which brings me back to my first quesiton, as to why we have two). Not a criticism at all; these templates display a lot of detail and are great to work with. I just want to understand the rationale for the setup so I can better utilize the templates as intended. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra847 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hey guys! Sorry for being so quiet on this, there's no excuse for this delay. I've been incredibly busy moving all of the Viggen artwork for PBR. The wing PSDs will be up within 20 hours from this post.

Grimes Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 It is at least something to work with. Now the only question is what to make.

=DECOY= Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Thank you for the PSD's :) I have noticed the Panel lines, rivets do not appear to be separate from the camo on top of the wings. I have copied the bottom and placed them on the top wing, has anyone else noticed this or have I missed something hehehe Water cooled i9-9900K | Maximus Code XI MB | RTX3090 | 64GB | HP Reverb G2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Fries Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 (edited) FYI there are 2 'LNS_VIG_WING_L_2' files.. Is this right? You're right, Joey. They are the same files with the same layers. I'm sure wing template 1 still needs to be uploaded. Thank you for the PSD's :) I have noticed the Panel lines, rivets do not appear to be separate from the camo on top of the wings. I have copied the bottom and placed them on the top wing, has anyone else noticed this or have I missed something hehehe What's missing is the first template, where you create your base texture, "bake it" and copy the merged texture to be the base of template 2.
