71st_AH Rob Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 Jocko, Love them! Can't wait to see the rest! One tiny request, can we get a generic squadron skin as well that has non- historical placement of the Roundels so we can use the dynamic S/N? Oh, and maybe the tail flash up so the Same/N can appear on the tail as well? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jocko417 Posted June 15, 2018 Author Share Posted June 15, 2018 Yeah, I can definitely do that, was also thinking about using the Japanese style bort numbers to see if I can get dynamic numbers on the nose of the OTU skins. I really wish we still had the decals file, would make life SO much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71st_AH Rob Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Excellent! Yes, the decals would be perfect, no idea why they scrapped it, maybe we can petition them to bring it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jocko417 Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 RAF Natural Metal Finish I'd wanted to do a bare aluminum RAF scheme for a while, this is a generic delivery scheme based on the Long Range Ferry Unit that flew the new Sabres from Canada to the U.K. There were variations in the markings but most had some version of the red search markings for "Arctic Conspicuity" applied. Haven't decided if I'll keep the wingtips only version or the longer span one as featured in the RCAF schemes above. Other improvements for 2.5 include reworked normal maps for greater panel seam and rivet detail, plus I finally got around to adding my speed brake panel details to the NM, so the holes in the structure look 3D in the new lighting engine now.

jocko417 Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Somewhat unrelated to the topic, but I always liked this scheme :D Very much W.I.P. This is Esk. 2, red fuselage stripe to be added. I think there is already a version of this skin somewhere, so I may do Esk. 1 with blue trim instead. Sorry, leading edge slats not included...

Santus Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Your attention to detail is inspiring Jocko, Very well done. I was under the impression that the Sabre isn't 2.5 compliant yet. I haven't found any roughmet textures anywhere! - Livery Catalog - Youtube channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jocko417 Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hi guys, typing this on my phone as my modem crapped out... skins are ready so once I get a replacement modem installed on Tuesday the skins will be uploaded ASAP. Please watch the initial post in the thread, I'll update it when the skins are accepted by ED. Thanks for the nice comments, I'd meant to update my stuff for 2.x a while ago. No, these are not PBR ready, simply updates while we wait for the roughmet files. I'm not going to bother updating my camo schemes just yet as the paint really doesn't look good in the new lighting engine when using SPEC files. A bit of colour here and there on the aluminum skins is passable. I've made a generic RAF bare metal scheme so the Brits have something to fly while we wait for the roughmet files :) I may make a bare metal Italian scheme, and I'll update my Pete Fernandez F-86F-1 skin as well. SAAF bare metal skins will be delayed as the fuselage stripe is a pain in the butt... Santus, attention to detail is all I can offer as I'm no artist :) One question before I post a bug report elsewhere, is the customizable cockpit option broken in 2.5? I can't seem to get it to work in game, it's selectable in the F-86 special options but default cockpit still exists when launching missions. My goal is to rerelease my black and Canadair grey cockpit textures as separate downloads, for custom cockpit use, so I can exclude them from skin downloads, thus keeping the skin files as small as possible.
