=OPS=Slider Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Both F-16 and MiG-29 have country marks on the bottom, but on the top those marks are missing, they should be on both sides of the wings. And I know it's not really important, but I pay attention to details, so if we have those skins already, let's make them correct according to reality.
baltic_dragon Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 Hey! Can you post some pictures? Or PM them to me? When developing the skins we used what we could find on the web and I thought they were done correctly :) should be an easy fix if not. For more information, please visit my website. If you want to reach me with a bug report, feedback or a question, it is best to do this via my Discord channel. Details about the WinWing draw can be found here. Also, please consider following my channel on Facebook.
firmek Posted October 24, 2017 Posted October 24, 2017 The question to begin with is how do to get to use them? As far as I've checked the MiG-29 nor F-16 are not selectable for Poland - countries database hasn't been changed. At the same time the skins are only applicable for Poland. The only way at the moment is to test it is to change the db countries lua (which is IC red) or the skin itself so it can be seleted by other coutries that can use the MiG-29 and F-16. F/A-18, F-16, F-14, M-2000C, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37 Viggen, F-5E-3, F-86F, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, L-39 Albatros, C-101 Aviojet, P-51D, Spitfire LF Mk. IX, Bf 109 4-K, UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50, NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf... and not enough time to fully enjoy it all
=OPS=Slider Posted October 24, 2017 Author Posted October 24, 2017 Well, I changed db_countries.lua by myself, I can post modified file here if you want me to. I will post some pictures of our F-16s ASAP, when I'll get home.
=OPS=Slider Posted October 24, 2017 Author Posted October 24, 2017 Ok so, here is the modified db_countries.lua https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AH2DcfEo8oyPWQ8&cid=04167985801BB6C2&id=4167985801BB6C2%212580&parId=root&o=OneUp Copy and paste it here X:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts\Database About F-16 and MiG-29. Some time ago our law has changed, so on some pics our F-16s doesn't have country marks. Those are old ones, so I agree, this might have confused you. Not your fault. Here are some up to date pics. This is the newest one, our own tiger camo And here is the "old" camo And EVERY single one has the same camo, so we have only 2 variants, tiger (1st pic) and and stained one (2nd pic). I can post more pics here, or send directly to you baltic_dragon, for more reference.
komemiute Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Hi there Slider, I'm glad you like the textures- I'm the lucky guy who had the honour to help Baltic Dragon in his great campaign with his Polish textures. First and foremost thank you for the fixing of the dB_Countries, I did fix mine too while I was developing them and I automatically assumed in the released it would have been fixed too. If you don't mind I'd really love to indulge on those more pictures you have there! :D I did my research, but as you've noticed I did miss that! To be honest, I'd like to ask also your opinion on the work overall... In many of the reference pictures I've used to make the F-16s skins I noticed that the outline was darker... Now, looking at what you posted, it makes me think it was in reality an effect of overexposure or some sort of HDR... Do you think the "darker outline" of the stain camo is too strong? Thank you so much for your help/suggestions! Also, since we're here I'd like to ask you another little thing... I added the some Polish Squadron patch to the left shoulder of the pilot- I sadly didn't find any reference for what the real 6th Squadron flight suit looks like- if you provide some info I'd love to add them to the pilots of the four F-16s. Bear in mind that both the F16's 3D model and textures are kinda old and so the result might be not as neat as we'd like ^_^' That said, thank you again and see you around!

=OPS=Slider Posted October 26, 2017 Author Posted October 26, 2017 Little update: For now I'm collecting the best pictures I can get, the highest possible resolution with as much details as possible, I think I will send it to you guys tommorow. About the "darker outline", it could be a bit lighter, and to the light gray color you can even add some blueish "filter", but just a tiny bit. About patches, I'll see what I can do. P.S. I know, this 3D model still remember good old times of Lock On, so I'm not expecting any fireworks ;)

=OPS=Slider Posted October 27, 2017 Author Posted October 27, 2017 Well, as I promised, here it is, entire folder with Polish F-16 pictures (some of them belong to my friend). There is a lot of tiger scheme pictures, because as you probably know (or you don't) this is our demo team. To be honest, to "fix" the basic paint scheme, you just need to add country marks on top of the wings, and as I said before, do some "adjustments" with colors and their intensity. About MiG-29, to the skins you already made, add country marks on top of the wings and check out the skins made by Jack and myszak, here (1st post) -> https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=132642 Btw, I think they did a pretty good job with these skins, maybe you can put them in as official ones, I think they wouldn't mind that, or even would be pleased with that :). F-16 pics -> https://1drv.ms/f/s!AsK2G4CFeRYElBa8qAgkCRUL9XXJ I think I didn't forget about anything (I know about the patches, still working on it) and I'm looking forward to see updated version of skins :).
