Very nice! I’ve always liked that scheme.

 

I would assume FA.1, as it would have been contemporary with the Sea Harrier FA.2 in service being a 1990s bird. No strike role anymore.

 

Have you tried launching it off your Hermes?

Not yet. Still need to edit the lua.

 

Shame we don't have an option to start her with the wings folded.

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

Hi guys,

 

just a noob question...

 

I made the two attached templates(got it as .dds as well, but can't upload it here) as a first and simple attempt of making a skin for our squadron.

Now I'm wondering how to edit the desciption to get it work.

 

Maybe one of you could help me out :-)

Ok, not sure I can help much as I am no guru, but here goes. First your .dds files must be 10.6 meg in size I believe (I asked the question but still have no response) so I saved as DXT1 no alpha when converting to .dds. Any other DXT selection made the file larger that 10.6 and did not show in the folder.

 

I used notepad++ to edit the description.lua, used the find and replace feature and placed the old file name in the find and the new replacement file name in replace with and then Replace all.

 

There are several excellent sticky's in the Mod/Liveries section of the forum that go into better detail as this is a very simplified, and hopefully useful explanation

Anyone cares to paint a VFA-102 Diamondbacks livery?

 

 

F/A-18F Super Hornet VFA-102 Diamondbacks

 

 

 

Ask and you shall receive! Had to make a few minor changes to get it to work with the C model instead of the F super hornet, but all in all pretty close.

 

 

Will upload asap!

There are a lot of mistakes in these skins. In these skins, there are many differences from the originals and there are technical errors.

 

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

Same as for mine, could you please reference which skins you're referring to?
