Great thanks

[Texac]

Here are some screens of NSAWC & NAWDC paint schemes which I want to release as a pack, it will be available once I added two more liveries.

 

 

 

I will also update my VMFAT-101 CAG & Line liveries.

Just wanted to show some more things that you can do with the skin, I made our Squadron Skins and gave each individual in the Squadron a BUNO number that matched their personal Skin AC number on the plane. I edited the required Diff and Alpha and added the Lua code lines and textures to the skin folder and Lua.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey strut. I’ll give you the proper font for that Bu num if you post more details how to do it :-)

@Texac

 

Love seeing your skills at work. You're knocking out so many of the wanted skins. Thanks

I will think about it

[Nealius]

Is there no line jet version of the VMFA-314? The User Files show screenshots with both the digital camo and line jets, but the line jet is not listed in the downloads.

[DonJosh]

My personal updated VMFA-232 skin:

-added a fixed bort number to look closer to the real one.

-added a desert tan flight suit.

-added Red Devils Pilot helmet.

-working on the patches

VMFA-232 (22) Buno 164266 red highlight

 

I work with the VMFA-232 Line skin from ED. So all Credits for the complete Skin goes to ED.

 

I call it "red highlight" because on the red colored vertical stabilizer tips.

 

I added follwing points:

 

-added a fixed Bort Number and (Watermanpc add the correct BunO Number) to look closer to the real one.

-added red vertical stabilizer tips by Watermanpc

-added a desert tan flight suit.

-added Camo Pilot helmet. White Red Devils Pilot helmet added as option

-added VMFA-232 patch

-added Red Devils-Fueltank (ED) from the VMFA-232 high visibility skin

 

To do:

- some small details like pilot names etc.

- CHSubZero help me with BunO Number Plate in the Cockpit

 

Thx to Watermanpc and CHSubZero to help me out with there skill full hands.

 

THE TEMPLATE IS MADE BY EAGLE DYNAMICS (ED)

VMFA-232 (22) Buno 164266 red highlight

 

-added a fixed Bort Number

 

Good job

 

It seems to me that the fixed side numbers are not a good idea (IMHO). Players should be able to display their own onboard number. Moreover, there are many airplanes with such coloring (red endings of vertical tail and such emblem).

 

Can you show a photo of the prototype?

[DonJosh]

Thank you :)

i understand your point, but my intention is to do this skin as close as possible to the real one. And only the 22 will fit the added BunO number.

And never say never, after i finished the real skin, i can release this skin with a variable bort number aswell ;)

 

 

what do you mean with "a photo of the prototype"? I added a screenshot in post #140 or do you mean a real photo from this skin?

[Flаnker]

sure

 

 

Pay attention to the technical inscriptions near the cockpit of the pilot

(the color of the inscriptions, the list of inscriptions and others), as well as fuel tanks (they differ from standard tanks VMFA-232 (figures at the beginning of the tank));)

[DonJosh]

next update for my VMFA-232 red highlight skin:

 

 

-BunO Number added in the cockpit

Thank you CHSubzero :)

 

 

 

 

 

the VMFA-232 high visibility skin will get her BunO number in the Cockpit aswell

 

 

 

I will do 3 Versions of that VMFA-232 "red highlight" skin

 

Version 1: fix Bort Number and Pilot Names etc.

Version 2: variable Bort Number with Pilot Names

Version 3: variable Bort Number without Names

 

 

So I hope everyone is happy ;)

[Texac]

I'd like to know for future reference where errors are on my liveries, considering 12 of them dont exist in real life. :pilotfly:

 

I'm currently working on my own VX-31 CoNA.

 

On your skin I noticed:

 

- black lerx

- black sun reflector area in front of the windshield is glossy, usually mat black

- "DANGER" text on the jet intake to big

- actual orange/red, white and gray paints are slightly incorrect on many airframe parts

- colored US symbol to small

- colored US symbol placed slightly wrong on the wings

- warning symbol on the canopy frame visible

- to many maintenance indications, there are less to none, depending on the variant

- depending on the variant, the antennas are colored or stay standard. I can't name all the antennas specifically but on the bottom of the aircraft I believe TACAN & UHF are always colored in orange.

- seams & rivets are all highly visible, at least on photos they are almost non visible from just a few meters away

- warning and ejection seat color wrong

- small NAVY text below the 5210 number

- multiple parts not colored

Here is the final NSAWC skin. Thanks to Mrjollyroger103, who provided images from a few weeks ago, I could add a standard gray NAWDC livery with black parts.

 

Also the VX-31 CONA paint scheme from 2011 in two variants which differ in very little details such as the antennas color, maintenance indications and CoNA symbol.

 

 

 

 

 

[DAN]

Release now ! : )
