Miasma Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 I'm hoping for the Template soon as well. I all he somebody mentioned about using an Intel plugin for the files instead of the Nvidia one. Also have you tried converting the file type before opening in Photoshop needs to be extended bitmap if I remember correctly?

I all he somebody mentioned about using an Intel plugin for the files instead of the Nvidia one. Also have you tried converting the file type before opening in Photoshop needs to be extended bitmap if I remember correctly? YES! Thank you! I had just found that and verified it works. Was coming back to Update this thread. It is discussed here https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=234889&highlight=.dds In poking around at the Helmet dds it looks like there is a "Patch" square that might pull a texture from somewhere else, sort of like the old bort numbers, or XML patches in Arma... Any ideas?

RaTzo Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 On Mac you can open the .dds files in Preview and then export them as .tiff files which can then be opened in Photoshop. Here is the skin I'm working on for TAW. It is rough but being used to develop what I'll do with the .psd whenever it is released. https://photos.app.goo.gl/f2atHiUew5EYN8m4A F-14B, A-10C,F-18C Lot 20, F-16C, UH-1H, SA342, Spitfire LF Mk IX, F-15C, Mig-29, Supercarrier, Nevada, Persian Gulf i9 9900k 5.0GHz, 32GB RAM, 1080Ti, Rift S, Warthog HOTAS, MFG Crosswind pedals, Dual Monitors 4K & 1080 Every Day, Someone Uses Cute Krispy Snacks [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
RaTzo Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 If anyone can unpack the edm to get the cockpit textures and description.lua I will make a version where the text is legible. I was not able to extract the edm myself.

SandMan23 Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Awesome skin! I am really looking forward to downloading all the talented work from the community. Would love a version of this one without the nose art as well! :)
Woogie Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 https://imgur.com/z2jIeV9 love all the VF-31 paints especially this one. VX-23 also had a few interesting Tomcats out of Pax River
mwlue Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I would like to first reduce the texture size and remove mips from them.... Looks like I need new tools to do that.... The CAT is chewing out my 16GB ram.....

Cutlass72 Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 I'll be doing some but need a template, don't want to start just repainting the current dds

David A Sell Posted March 15, 2019 Author Posted March 15, 2019 I've been editing the .dds, not ideal at all. Although the Helms and Flight suits are easy enough and look cool.

Raisuli Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 This one: I have several angles and configurations as well as the Hasegawa model. 1985 livery; BG Delta, USS Constellation WestPac 1985 (also the first F/A-18 deployment, but that's a different thread)
Swordsman422 Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 I'm hoping for more liveries that actually appeared on B-model Tomcats. OEF VF-102 line jets, VF-143 final cruise, VF-103's 1992 clubleaf livery, or their first cruise after taking on the bones.
