Texac Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I think the drop tank texture file needs to be in the main texture file of the Hornet.

==Wiggy== Posted June 5, 2018 Author Share Posted June 5, 2018 Ok so sounds like, unless I want to use the stock plain tanks, there's no way to reference another texture folder like you do in P3D.... That's what I thought. Just checking. I will go ahead and make the tanks now! Thanks. Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonGhost Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 That is great news! This will be my go to skin until the bengal skin from VMFA-224 gets released. Then it will be hard to pick just one. :) i7-7700K @ 5.2Ghz SLI 1080Ti 64GB GSkill Trident Z RGB 4133 Asus Maximus IX Extreme Custom Water Cooling Loop TM Warthog/ MFG Crosswind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonGhost Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Alright, I got to spend about an hour with this livery this evening and all I can say is WOW! There are so many liveries available for this wonderful bird but this one takes the cake for me. Your probably tired of hearing me say it, but thank you for this skin. It’s just different enough from the flood of liveries that it stands out enough. Now hopefully skins can be loaded server side so that everyone else can see what you are flying. i7-7700K @ 5.2Ghz SLI 1080Ti 64GB GSkill Trident Z RGB 4133 Asus Maximus IX Extreme Custom Water Cooling Loop TM Warthog/ MFG Crosswind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texac Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) Great work so far! Do you plan to improve it a little more? I found a few little, very small things that are missing or incorrect. I noticed that: - aircraft contains text on both textures - wingtips colored black - black ladder visible - AN/ALQ-165 antenna colored white - BuNo 161924 designation on the tail missing - Red Stars are to big and the white line is to thin and surrounded by red and blue lines - part on the LERX not colored - tail antennas not colored correct - tailhook colored completely black - 12 on the tail placed in the centre *nitpick off* Edited June 7, 2018 by Texac - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
==Wiggy== Posted June 7, 2018 Author Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'm glad those are just nits, and not full sized bugs! LOL! Well, if you follow my F-86 paints I try to strive for accuracy so I guess you've created more work for me! Truth be told, when I originally started this I had no idea that a VFC -12 RL version existed. My plan had been to produce a replica of the real Su-34 and not of the VFC bird... Though it's clearly based on this jet. I'll see what I can do. Cheers, Rick CSEL\CMEL\IFR Certified Airplane Nut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

==Wiggy== Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 (edited) ... I noticed that: 1) aircraft contains text on both textures 2) wingtips colored black 3) black ladder visible 4) AN/ALQ-165 antenna colored white 5) BuNo 161924 designation on the tail missing 6)- Red Stars are to big and the white line is to thin and surrounded by red and blue lines 7) part on the LERX not colored 8) tail antennas not colored correct 9) tailhook colored completely black 10) 12 on the tail placed in the centre *nitpick off* 1) Please explain? 2) Will fix this 3) ??? Boarding ladder? 4) None of the antenna's are white. It's the contrast in the sim. They are actually all the stock color. I'll look closer at the photos for this. 5) Copy will fix this. Glaring error on my part! 6) These are the actual Russian Stars on the real bird - But I can downgrade for this paint... 7) ??? Please show me... 8) Will look at the photos 9) Another glaring error on my part.... 10) Can't fix this. This is the actual positioning of the dynamic BORT numbering system so that you can all use this bird in MP and each pilot gets his own number. This will remain unchanged.

Texac Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 1) The text markings for the maintenance crew are all visible, whereas on the real variant they aren't 3) In the template this layer is called "ladder" it is the black stripe that moves along the LERX on both sides, it is not, perhaps barely visible 4) The very first antenna below the formation lights is or was colored black 6) Take a look at the VFC-12 Splinter livery in DCS, these are the correct red stars. 7) Just in front of the LERX fence, is a part of the ladder layer colored gray, it is an error on the template Yes, I know this is getting really nitpicky but some other things I noticed, except 1. 1) The gray ladder part 2-3) A few parts not colored in white and black on the nose and above the NAVY text (marked in red) 5) All pylons are colored black below as well as both fuselage station attachments 6) colored in blue 7) some paint errors 8 ) colored in blue - My Skins/Liveries - Improved F-16C Texture Template • Texac on YouTube • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Mittens Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I only own one DCS module as of right now and that is the F/A18C. 9 times out of 10 I use your plane to fly missions. This is by far my favorite scheme that has ever been on a hornet and I'm glad you have put in the time and effort to create it in dcs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
