starmat Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Strikeeagle isn't wrong and he has answered your question (might just not be the one you were expecting). The paintkit will have the dirt on separate layers which you can easily turn off in Photoshop. At this point, you will have to paint out the dirt and grime manually with a clone node or any other of the million tools you have in photoshop.

sSkullZnBoneZz Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Exactly. :thumbup: I am asking how to do it with the paint kit that we are currently using. If I was going to wait for Heatblur to release one I wouldn’t be asking how to do it now, if that makes sense. I take this as the typical RTFM response, which is not helpful.

Nickhurl7 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I have VX4 Black Bunny Skins .DDS but can't get them either into a file that works or shows as an option in game. Probably doing the wrong thing file wise but starting to think maybe they will only work with the F14A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCVW6-CAG Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 My initial response was not meant to be trolling, BUT after his as "asshattery" response I returned in kind. Is what it is, some folks are just too soft. :thumbup: No. You were being a dick. You could have easily given the answer that the other individual did but, you didn't. You chose to be a childish smartass, and frankly didn't represent the mighty 11 very well which, is an organization I, and others here respect very much. On another note, I can promise you Skullz is furthest thing from being soft, and neither am I. Ask around. Tell everyone we said hello.

Is what it is, some folks are just too soft. :thumbup: If I was soft I never would’ve responded to you’re lack of an answer but I am so sick and tired of seeing people with questions that may not have much experience ask a question and be treated like they are an idiot by someone who thinks they know more than everyone else with an answer like you gave. You chose to reply to be a smart elec and make your self look cool in your own mind. But I’m not gonna sit around and let you do that to me without some kind of response.

pimp Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Here's an example from the template/original master PSDs from the AJS37 (and this is from one of the small, 500MB, files). Merging and naming layers makes things a lot easier for the user (and deleting unused WIP layers can reduce the file sizes quite a bit). I can perfectly understand why HB wants to tidy things up a bit before release. Would reducing layers improve performance or layers don't make that big of an impact? i9 9900k @5.1GHz NZXT Kraken |Asus ROG Strix Z390 E-Gaming | Samsung NVMe m.2 970 Evo 1TB | LPX 64GB DDR4 3200MHz EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra | Reverb G1 | HOTAS Warthog | Saitek Flight Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCVW6-CAG Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Seriously, I was really just making a legit response. There was no ill intent until you replied in the way that you did. No reason to get worked up over my short forum response. I'm going to see myself out before someone else gets upset. Have a good evening all. Excellent idea.

Kolyma Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 No idea who this Strikeeagle345 is and don't care to find out, but clearly with all those posts he only confirmed his idiocy. Next time the Internet shames you dude, just say my bad and stop posting. Sheesh Now this fun and happy thread has a giant one-page of shit on it.

fishermanivan Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Would reducing layers improve performance or layers don't make that big of an impact? In photoshop, maybe... in the game it all gets flattened to one layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Gee Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Would reducing layers improve performance or layers don't make that big of an impact? It would, as your paint program...Photoshop, PSP, Whatever....has to account/track those layers and having 100's of layers, even ones with tiny marks, slows things down when painting, especially zoomed in.

Steve Gee Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 With there being only 5-6 squadrons I believe that actually flew the B, I imagine you'll see A and D schemes to come for a while. All the B squadrons might already be represented in HB's Tomcat.

Swordsman422 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 9 fleet squadrons, 1 training squadron, and 1 test squadron all flew the B even briefly. VF-11, -24, 32, -74, -101, -102, -103, -142, -143, and -211, and VX-30. While all but VX-30 have been represented in the release, these aren't the only liveries these squadrons had.
