jocko417 Posted January 11, 2021 Author Posted January 11, 2021 There will be a fairly large update to the Common Textures folder with the release of the Camo skins. Changes will obviously include the new tanks and pylons camo textures. The big change will be that each camo skin probably won't have to have the center fuselage portion, as it should be the same for all liveries. It will be included in the Common Textures folder instead, with the result that the individual camo skin files should be smaller. 1

NRG-Vampire Posted January 11, 2021 Posted January 11, 2021 Yes madam but there is only one F-105 pic what I posted previously. https://www.lockonforum.de/community/thread/1850-eure-schönsten-shots/?postID=84951#post84951 1

jocko417 Posted January 12, 2021 Author Posted January 12, 2021 Well, that’s exciting! Soulfreak, could we expect a stretch job and second seat for the F-80C model? Only a billion T-33 skins out there waiting to happen
jocko417 Posted January 12, 2021 Author Posted January 12, 2021 First two SEA Camo skins available in first post. 1

But that is all for now, nothing more planned so far. Edited January 12, 2021 by soulfreak 1
NRG-Vampire Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Well, I have some suggestions to those F-104G/S model(s). As I see there are differences only at the under fuselage twin pilons/launchers and the vental fin(s). So, you (Kobra?) should merge the two model into one where arg70 or other non-dedicated arg# (visibility) will be able to change/visualize those parts through the livery-decription.lua: custom_args = (number/value). Moreover you can build the TF-104G on the model too. Merge all models and add visibility to the different parts and you will save a lot of work and resources.

I´m not kobra. i guess it will stay on G & S different models, cause those will be not only done for DCS.
stockfisch Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 All those fantastic skins beg for an official F-104 module. What a fantastic jet! Let us dream, maybe one day ... 1

Gotcha, but it's not a problem to export into another game-3D format/extension a DCS-ready "Merged-with-visibility-parts-3D model". MAX can handle those arg-based-visibilities. It's only a hide/unhide/reveal thingy. (a 3D modeller can do it manually as well: without visibilities) So, He can export both: seperated F-104G and F-104S models to FSX, FSXX, SF2, XP etc. formats I am RDY 2 help Edited January 12, 2021 by NRG-Vampire

PeeJott17 Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 Great skins. Really like those camo-ones. Good job
PeeJott17 Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Since so many would like to have a full blown F104 Mod (I am one of those guys as well): If you happen to know somebody Who wants to make a 3d cockpit for it or has one and would license a copy (not exclusive), feel invited to contact me
PeeJott17 Posted January 29, 2021 Posted January 29, 2021 @jocko417 I'm using the smoke-II liverie (and new common folder) on a dedicated server where a few missions with the F-104G are planned. But if the F104G with the above mentioned livery is used as AI, I get an interesting image of the wing-tip-fuel-tanks which looks like the one in the attachement...quite funny, but where is the problem? I've got the F104G installed with everything in the savedgames folder.... ...when I use it as a client plane, everything is fine... When I fly the mission on my "normal" DCS-installation (different PC) everything is fine as well, even when the F104G is flown by the AI...
jocko417 Posted January 29, 2021 Author Posted January 29, 2021 It looks like the game is putting the wrong object on the wingtip. Can you send a better pic of the object? Besides an update/repair of your specific game installation you could ask VSN about it. Skin files won’t affect how objects are placed, only what the object texture will look like.
PeeJott17 Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Hi @jocko417 It's a minigun instead of the tiptank...funny thing, when I use the standard-skin fpr AI (I think its Jabo32 or something) there is no problem. If I fly it with this skin as client on the server, there is no problem either...it's sadly the combination of the F104G and your pretty nice (and perfect fitting for the mission) smokeII skin...I'll test some more and see, if the problem keps popping up after a newly installed F104G + lieveries...lets see ;-)
