F14 Skinners thread (Paintkit in 1st post)

[Cobra847]

@cobra,

could you please add to the readme a full list of all the fonts used?

I'm downloading them as I open files, but it would be nice to get a list :)

it's a large amount of fonts after all..

 

 

and where are the helmet templates? can't seem to find them.

 

There is no helmet template. You have to use the default white and overlay colours. :)

 

Will look at adding the font list!

[Nambo]

thanks a lot !!

[TBear]

Is there anybody that uses Corel Draw?

[Swordsman422]

VF-143 used Korinna and Korinna Extra-Bold for their modex numbers in 2002 and 2004 respectively.

No, this version does not work on GIMP

 

Another PSD reads without a problem, does someone use GIMP?

 

I use GIMP to edit the F-14 for my flight squadron. There is a script that will make it work. It was on this forum though I can' remember what page.

Heatblur server getting Slashdot Effect right now. All these downloads.... I'm getting just a dribble of packets

I also use A10, F / A 18 with no problem.

And it does not work here.:mad:

Some solution ?

For me (using PS CC 2019), it looks like the panel lines are not "over" the liveries. If i place a decal in livieres it covers the panel lines.

Any advice on that?

Thanks cobra!

 

Now I just need a bit of freetime :megalol:

Porco mettiti sotto e dacci i Black Lions in livrea black.

Thoughts on these errors? Is this because I'm using CS6?

First one hit "keep layers", basically there are some hidden layers

Second one you don't have the fonts pre loaded that the Devs used

Once loaded press the right arrow to open all of the groups and youll see which layers have been hidden - mainly different elements to liveries

your placing the decal to high up in the groups

[RSharpe]

Are you guys going to be able to repaint the skins in the earlier light gull grey and still preserve some weathering ?

weathering is on a different layer to the base colour

Thought so too, but my Decals are in 321st Tigers Group and the Panel lines are in Do not Touch - Base

 

 

I'm confused :crash:

Yes the weathering is several layers above the color base layers.

Ill have a dig about and see what i can find

[chaser]

The decals in the livery section are not 100 % solid so the panel lines show through is the best way to describe them

Maybe someone more knowledgeable then me can jump in here ?

Lower the opacity of your layers in the livery folder. :)

 

You'll find that DCS will make things stronger than they appear in Photoshop so do experiment with the Modelviewer to get the right look.

Anyone have or know where I can find the white blank helmet texture to start with?

[Kolyma]

Is is just me or is all the fine lines and details mixed into the "Base Texture copy 2" layer which also includes the overall grey background color?

 

With other paintkits, we got a clean background color layer and then higher level layers with just lines and details and such. That way you could make a skin with a completely different color scheme and keep all the details.

 

For example, doesn't seem possible to make and all-red F-14 skin with this template and keep all the lines and details.

Not sure what you mean?

 

To get an all red Tomcat you would just need make a layer that's red within your own livery folder and play around with the color and opacity.

 

Can you post a screenshot of your issue?
