GrizzlyJet Posted October 17, 2021 Posted October 17, 2021 @jocko417, these are awesome looking skins - and I never had any idea that the Starfighter enjoyed such a smorgasbord of different liveries. I wonder if your approach would happen to have a series of layered Photoshop PSD files that would enable others to paint other variations - especially those of us that have a particular unit or aircraft in mind. You're only one dude, dude! In the X-Plane world (and perhaps DCS!) this would be a "paint kit" of sorts. Any possibility?
jocko417 Posted October 17, 2021 Author Posted October 17, 2021 Yes. Will be out this week, once I clean some stuff up. 1

Saguanay Posted October 20, 2021 Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Naw, I was asking about "Lukewaffe". I take it after all of this that it was an intentional spelling mitstake. Edited October 20, 2021 by Saguanay

Yes, still weathering it. About the only scheme in CF-104 history that looked dirty, especially in that last few years. Edited October 20, 2021 by jocko417 2

GrizzlyJet Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 33 minutes ago, jocko417 said: Paint kit uploaded to ED, awaiting approval! Cool. Do we have to have our user skins approved by ED before we can post them? After a bunch of research for an F-104 kit build, I've discovered that there is an exception to the shorter vertical stabilizer on F-104C's, where the fin/rudder is about 20-25% shorter longitudinally than on the F-104G, as modeled by VSN. (The 104C fin/rudder doesn't stick out over the exhaust quite as far as the G). The exception was 56-0885, the aircraft used to recapture the speed, time to climb and absolute altitude record when held by the F-104. It had the tail section of an F-104B grafted on instead of the normal "C model" tail. Not to count rivets or anything...
GrizzlyJet Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 Thanks, Jocko, understood. Having a bit of curating isn't a bad thing. A bit of artistic license is okay too, accuracy isn't a life or death thing. Although it would be nice if VSN might release a "C" version for we detail nerds. I was just glad to find the record breaking jet so that I could do a bare metal F-104 replica without having to perform major surgery on the rudder that comes with the kit.

jocko417 Posted October 23, 2021 Author Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) #6 is the ejection seat. You can change textures, as I have done to mimic a C-2 seat for instance, but you can’t change the model. The only template I have for it (as such) are the C-2 changes I made, and you can just use the textures from my Shared folder if you want that seat. Edited October 23, 2021 by jocko417

Sounds good - that will be important for the skin I'm going to spin up. Thanks! It's probably not likely, but I hope we can get some variations in the models to account for the version spread of the aircraft. The modeling differences don't seem to be substantial, but I may be speaking out of turn.
alnel413 Posted October 24, 2021 Posted October 24, 2021 Love the new camo paints. Still having so much fun with your RCAF liveries. Having some fictitious fun but man do those skunkworks designs look good together. Thanks for the paint kit as well. 2
