alnel413 Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 12703 looks very good in the small leaf paint scheme.
alnel413 Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 I have downloaded and tried them all. That FG-914 is very nice as are all the liveries. When my dad was stationed in Rockliffe, I got to fly in the Hercules with the lightning bolt on it on a trip from Ottawa to Kingston then on to Lethbridge on a Cosmopolitan. Nice work on 12703 joco417.
jocko417 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Posted January 6, 2021 Ah, the Cosmo... never got a ride in one of those but I rode Air Ontario's old CV580s a few times before everybody and their mother started using Dash-8s for short haul trips. Some Canadian markings trivia, the Cosmopolitan and at least one other type (maybe Yukon?) wore red on red nationality markings for a short period. I think the theory was that since blue was no longer a "national" colour with the red and white maple leaf flag replacing the Ensign, the nationality markings should therefore mimic the new flag. Maybe the powers that were decided that at long distances these markings would be confused with Danish markings or something, because the change never stuck.
jocko417 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Underside camo grey demarcation needs to be lowered to about where radome has it, and then a bit of light wave action... Edited January 6, 2021 by jocko417 3 1
jocko417 Posted January 7, 2021 Author Posted January 7, 2021 First post updated to include CF-104 104783, in the final home based markings scheme, before the Starfighter was phased out with the arrival of the CF-18. 1
Stratos Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 What a beautiful set of skins! I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

navyBtown Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 (edited) Hey there, I was wondering if someone can help me understand how to install the skins the right way. I know what files need to be placed, but every time I copy & paste the contents the outcome is still the same just like what is shown in the photo below. Edited January 8, 2021 by navyBtown

Have you installed the common textures for jocko417´s skins? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3314166/
navyBtown Posted January 8, 2021 Posted January 8, 2021 I have but I'm not sure if I installed in the right order. My understanding is you need to place the common textures in the same folder as the skin you are wanting to use right?

No, you put the 'Common Textures' in the unit livery folder and not in the individual skin folder. For example mine is C:\Users\Christina\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\Aircraft\VSN_F104G\Liveries\VSN_F104G\ ....Drop the Common Texture file folder here and you're good to go.

Mizzy SO just drop it in the VSN-F104G folder but not in its own?

Don't drop it in any of the individual skin folders, that's where you went wrong. In fact just take the folder common textures out of the FG914 skin and drop it there as if it's a skin called common textures !
jocko417 Posted January 8, 2021 Author Posted January 8, 2021 Hi navyBtown, Mizzy has it right, drop the Common Textures into the same folder you are putting each skin folder into, don't put it into the individual skin folder! Should look something like the pic. In the same folder as all of the skins are installed into, NOT in the skin folders themselves. 1

I see what you’re saying sadly my mind is trying to make it harder than it needs to be, but I still can't get it to work.
jocko417 Posted January 8, 2021 Author Posted January 8, 2021 Yes, you will need the Common Textures folder, it contains various shared textures that all my F-104 skins use. This is why you are getting that mosaic effect on the model, it can't find certain textures that are missing.
