SCPGrinder66 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 isoko, when are yours going to be released? Looking forward to it. I always used your skins in the aero**** Tomcat....awesome work! BTW, thanks to all you guys who have released skins so far! I dabble a little bit in skins myself, but with the F-14B, we're a little bit limited and the best one's are already being handled it seems. One thing I'd like to see more of is guys trying to replicate the HGU-55 helmets - I lived in VA Beach right outside Oceana and spent a lot of time on base and never saw the old lids on any A+ or B pilots... Looking forward to the A model, the door will be blown wide open when that drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warlord64 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 hey guys when I make a custom skin it pops in and out when I zoom in and out on the plane. what am I doing wrong These peramiters are based on the skin being made in Gimp but similar with PS. First flatten the skin and when you Export as .dds you need to set the compression to say BC1/DTX1 then in mipmaps box apply generate mipmaps The mipmaps are the most impotant as they will show the skin in decreasing scales of resolution in game when zooming out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealius Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Just a random musing here, but it really seems like Tomcats in practice ignored the paint guidelines outlined in MIL-STD-2161 manuals. I guess they're just guidelines like the Pirate Code? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealius Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Looking good, though a slight bluish on the gray. Probably how the original picture captures the colors, but original top color should be FS35237 according to official USN docs. It has a very, very slight blue hue to it, but not as much as what's depicted in the reference photo. Might be the dirt/grime reflecting the sky color?

It has a very, very slight blue hue to it, but not as much as what's depicted in the reference photo. Might be the dirt/grime reflecting the sky color? Thanks guys! Exactly. I used FS35237 toning, based on photographic texture. I paint almost the same color as the link you showed me. However, in DCS, the color of the skin changes significantly due to daytime, nighttime, bad weather, fine weather, etc., so the color as it is is different from the Tomcat. Therefore, some toning is carried out. The color is really difficult:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenovia Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Can you just send me the blank F-14 just like that, removing the pilot/rio's patches and wipe the helmet clean? I really want a blank Tomcat. :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amperand Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Hi. Newbie here. I'm having trouble with the process for creating the livery folders that would go into DCS for the F14-b. I've downloaded the paintkit, and can edit the .psd files just fine. I assume after that, I should save them as .dds files. But then what? How do I generate, for example, the description file that I see in the existing livery folders? And are there other steps I need to take? I've searched this thread pretty thoroughly and not found a step-by-step. If someone can point me to one, or type one up, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance....
