EricJ Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Hey man, I've slowly worked on your skin but now that I've got a better connection, I've decided to 2048 x 2048 so it may be another week. 1 Homepage | Discord | My Files | YouTube 'Nearly everyone felt the need to express their views on all wars to me, starting with mine.

EricJ Posted May 19, 2007 Author Posted May 19, 2007 Found (I believe) Flanker's 2048 x 2048 template, so I started work. Right now I'm just getting the base down and so on and so forth. I tried to see about using a gradient for the underside, even though I have the pictures in your topic, so apparently it didn't work out as planned, but as said, I got them: Homepage | Discord | My Files | YouTube 'Nearly everyone felt the need to express their views on all wars to me, starting with mine.

SuperKungFu Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Oh, very cool. Nice progress. And take your time, no one is rushing you to do this. Cheers and rep inbound. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EscCtrl Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Is this skin based on something or completely original?
EricJ Posted May 19, 2007 Author Posted May 19, 2007 Stratos: Let me finish with everything. I got a list going and I had to give up alot of stuff for a few so when I get to it, is when I get to it, but will get to it.

SuperKungFu Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 very nice Eric, its coming along nicely. I like that dark blue to light on the belly. Oh btw, i don't think the original Russian Knights had the red outlines on the edge of the wings at the bottom, but it actually looks pretty good based on the screenshots. You can decide whether or not to keep them, i'll trust your decision. @EscCtrl, its based on the original Russian Knights skin before the current one we see today [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EscCtrl Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 Ah right thought I recognised the red stripe somewhere. I thought the new scheme had the camo and the original was plain?
SuperKungFu Posted May 19, 2007 Posted May 19, 2007 no the current russian knight colors is the plain one The one in the past was the camo one [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

SuperKungFu Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 wow you work fast haha. One request though, is it possible to make the camo colors slightly darker? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
sp0nge Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Hi EricJ, mad as skin you've done there. 1 Question When i tried to make that skin I had a problem with there being a bit of blue paint that I couldn't get rid of. It seems you've had the paint in the 3rd screenie you posted (http://562.50megs.com/LOMAC/Projects/air231.jpg) I am wondering how you got rid of this? I am talking about the dark blue shade of paint behind the canopy. cheers Is breaking the laws of gravity illegal? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EscCtrl Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 I like this skin a lot, are you going to release it to the rest of us or has superkungfu been paying you? :D
sp0nge Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 How bout sum aussie skins for your f-18? :D http://www.xplanefreeware.net/barry/X-Plane%208.0/FA-18%20RAAF%2020th_screenshot.jpg http://nl.airliners.net/photos/photos/8/5/5/0800558.jpg :) Is breaking the laws of gravity illegal? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Stratos Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Sounds cool to me! Thank's Eric!! I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!
EricJ Posted May 20, 2007 Author Posted May 20, 2007 This work? I'll probably release it, if SuperKungFu agrees, and no he's not paying me :) Sp0nge, I just painted in this area: Homepage | Discord | My Files | YouTube 'Nearly everyone felt the need to express their views on all wars to me, starting with mine.

SuperKungFu Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 I'll probably release it, if SuperKungFu agrees, and no he's not paying me :) lol yea I agree, its meant for the public in the first place. And yea the color is good now. Keep up the good work. btw, @EricJ, looking at your screenshots, are you running on a widescreen? Because it seems a little stretched, are you running on a 1.6 ratio? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EricJ Posted May 20, 2007 Author Posted May 20, 2007 Yeah I've been trying to solve that issue, but if I remember correctly, there's a bug with 4:3. I think I need to resize then crop the images, as I've been saving and cropping, will do on the next sets: Homepage | Discord | My Files | YouTube 'Nearly everyone felt the need to express their views on all wars to me, starting with mine.

sp0nge Posted May 20, 2007 Posted May 20, 2007 Thats probably the problem I had.. Not painting there... Is breaking the laws of gravity illegal? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

EricJ Posted May 21, 2007 Author Posted May 21, 2007 Thanks :), and a correction on the template, it's the one done by Foxdie: http://www.lockonfiles.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=126#cat Homepage | Discord | My Files | YouTube 'Nearly everyone felt the need to express their views on all wars to me, starting with mine.

SuperKungFu Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Would the number show up by default in the game in the correct position or is best to add a number there? Anyway, i dunno if you plan to do this or not, but i guess its best to mention it. Could you extend the camo from the wing more over to the body of the aircraft It seems that part was only secluded to the wing. Also, I hope the colors match up, based on this picture whatever the darkness blue of the tail, should match the dark blue part of the camo. Other than that, this skin is kicking ass. Nice work. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EricJ Posted May 21, 2007 Author Posted May 21, 2007 Well if you got the instruction sheet, or the portion that shows a top view of the pattern, I can get more exact. If not, then I can just move it to the fuselage and go from there. Also, my colors are based off model shots. You have to remember, that that shot..... is in rain, so the color is going to be off. The trickiest camo by far is USN Grey, but I'll darken it some more anyways, no problem.
