VX-9 "Black Bunny"

[Ala12Rv-watermanpc]

Hi guys, just made this one, hope you like it!!:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I made as realistic as possible shiny material for it while at the same time trying to weather it a bit. Also made unique textures for the inflatable bags (which are identical by default), little changes in engine nozzles, etc. Would have liked to add real crew members names but I swear I couldn't find a single picture where I could read them so if you guys can help me it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Hope you like it, the Tomcat is the only plane that looks cool in dark colors btw :D

 

v1.1:

 

-Fixed an incorrect shadow in the crew names of one side

-Adjusted "vx-9" under engine's fin

-Minor adjustment in one vertical fin art

That is incredible!

[mwlue]

I know it could be abit picky, but would it be a version without pilot name.

 

I'm not quite keen on flying somebody's else plane instead of mine. Lulz

Holy Rabbit !

[Ala12Rv-watermanpc]

Thanks a lot guys!!:)

 

I have cancelled the upload so I can make some changes prior to release, special thanks to DonJosh for sending me detailed info about crew names and even the real name of hte unit which is "Vandy 1" so I will also change this before releasing it, thanks man!!

 

what Im not sure is about the Buno...not sure if I should change it as well as the F-14 "B" or "D"..hummmm...it wont be realistic anyway so maybe I will leave the F-14B and Buno and pretend this unit was given to the VX sqd :P

 

will also try to include a "no crew" version though not sure if possible due to the size of the file...

 

Hope it will be ready very soon!:thumbup:

Simply beautiful dude! Well done

[Texac]

Awesome skin, excellent work!

[Ala12Rv-watermanpc]

Thanks a lot mates!!, really appreciated :thumbup:

 

I have been all the day working again a lot of things with the info given by DonJosh and also added many retouches here and there (even changed the whole bunny on the vertical stabs for a more accurate one)...also re-did the helmets to better adapt them to the original ones though not the same helmets so not 1:1 reproduction...

 

Also ended changing the Buno to the one of hte F-14D although I found a Buno of a "Vandy 1" F-14B but well, after adding real crew names I decided to use the Buno of the "D" too.

 

Screens are thus already obsolete :D, so I made a couple screens more with the last work:

 

 

it is submitted again so it should be available very soon.

 

Thanks everyone, hope you enjoy it!!:)

[Baco]

awesome work! Thank you!

[Ala12Rv-watermanpc]

Thanks everyone!! it is already active!, link in first post, enjoy it!!:thumbup:

[Yurgon]

That looks simply fantastic! Already downloaded, but no time to fly yet. Can't wait to put that on a Tomcat and see it first hand. :thumbup:

I don't know how the testing and evaluation squadrons handle it, but with active service squadrons, I'm pretty sure pilots don't have their "own" planes, even if their name is painted on one of the jets. Depending on availability of jets, roster and probably some other considerations, they may fly "their" jet or any other from that squadron.

[Nealius]

Yep, that was covered in the Fighter Pilot Podcast. Pilots have their names on jets, but the jets aren't theirs, and it's not uncommon for pilots to never fly "their" jet except for the deployment ferry flight.

[Ala12Rv-watermanpc]

Thanks for the comments guys!!;)

 

About removing the names, I tried to upload a file w/ and w/o them, but the size was about 500Mb compressed and almost 1gb once in the folder so the uploading of the server crashed twice and due to my limited internet connection I couldnt try again...anyway I dont think it is practical and as said already, this is how this plane looked (pretending it is a "D" version) so nothing wrong to fly it with the crew names.:thumbup:

Thanks for the attempts :notworthy:

 

I have just downloaded you great livery and removed the names myself for my liking. :D

 

As for the file size, I actually convert all the files to dxt1 /w alpha and removed the mip-maps. This have dropped those main 4096x4096 textures from 21mb to 8mb each. It helps easing the memory usage and fps on my not-so-decent rig.

Looks great in the screenshots and even better in-game, awesome job!

Lovely skin, thank you very much!

Glad you could remove the names and are enjoying the skin, thanks for the nice words as well as all the rest of you guys!!, have fun!! :thumbup:

[Ironhand]

Don’t own the aircraft but this skin is making me seriously consider changing that situation. :)

Man, I can't recommend the Tomcat enough!!, its the best module available to date to my taste at least, and it is not even finished yet :)...it is a very safe bet and a blast of a module!!;)

Thx for great skin!

 

 

But please can you:

Great work watermanpc, however I noticed that the phoenix hardpoints aren't painted, is it possible you could fix this?

[BMGZ06]

This is what I was looking for Thank you Sir! I was lucky enough to see one in Person back in 91 at Point Magu Airshow. Sinister in black
