F/A-18C Lot 20 Template Questions / Help

Could we please get the new AI Hornet model added to the PG update so we can actually finish these Liveries. It is impossible to do extra details and weathering without the model to go off of.

 

Thanks

Can someone point out where the squadron ID goes? Like VFA-94 on the fuselage.

 

Download Attached PNG, Open, Copy and Paste as New layer in template, and it will show VFA-000 Placement.

When you make the template the model needs to be unwrapped.

 

the lines is the polygons of the model.

 

the coordinates in 3d is X , Y , Z in 2d its U , V , W.

 

I did a little vid to show a friend to show him... I'll try to find it.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Thank You! But How Do I load these into PhotoShop? I had them once upon a time, then I built a new computer reinstalled PS, and have not had the FS colors since. I forget how I did it last time.

I use a color picker tool to get the html color code (e.g #ffffff) and paste it into Photoshop.

 

Unless you mean something else by "loading them into PS"?

Also I can help in finding details on the texture (while 3D model is unavailable) :)

 

The two wing pylons are placed on F18C_1_DIFF but which of these two on this template is the inner or/and outer pylon?

 

They are placed upon each other so:

 

Inner wing pylon = Top on the Template

 

Outer wing pylon = Bottom on the Template

 

or the other way round?

Top is Outboard, Bottom is Inboard.

So the two pylons on F18C_1_DIFF will be the same for the right and left wing?

 

It's not that big of a deal and rarely a problem but perhaps we could see all four pylons on the template in the future?

 

Some liveries have all four pylons colored differently, same goes for fuel tanks.

How do you completely get rid of the bort numbers? Does anyone have description .lua file for this already?

 

 

 

in the description.lua change the bort texture file name's to "empty"

 

Description will be Made Available when the module is released.

Thank you!

 

I need to revise, I missed a part on map 1., but I'm busy at the moment.
