Strut Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 (edited) You mean like this one ? Sorry about stealing your thunder mate, but I wont be releasing this for public consumption so yours will be good to go. Keep at it. This one had some interesting differences requested, so its not entirely vanilla.

Brigg Posted June 23, 2019 Posted June 23, 2019 Oh yeah very nice, i was hoping someone was going to do the Black Knights. Thx :thumbup:
fl0w Posted June 23, 2019 Author Posted June 23, 2019 Adding more details.. Red trim on the bottom vortex generators is still being tweaked. Pilot design (thanks to Robert for the pics!)
fl0w Posted June 24, 2019 Author Posted June 24, 2019 Almost done. Added black tips with red trim on the wings and stabilizers. Updated the dark paint to be more black, and the rest of the fuselage to a lighter grey. If anyone has any reference photos of the inner rudder sides and top of the airframe, please post them to me!
PorcoRosso86 Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 From my references inner rudder side was always empty, low and hi visibility. so your livery is right. No pictures from top for this specific livery, but should be stardard like the others, with the roundel with the same color and size of the side.

RaisedByWolves Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 Looks awesome. However your signature line says you no longer make mods for the community. So is this a tease?

No, the signature is legitimate on the behalf of making flyable aircraft mods for the community. I am more or less dipping my feet into the livery/skinning making aspect of this and may continue if I find more interest in it. Sirius, look through this site, some great pics. http://www.seaforces.org/usnair/VF/Fighter-Squadron-154.htm Thanks! I will take a look at it. :)

fl0w Posted June 29, 2019 Author Posted June 29, 2019 News Sorry for the delay guys! Just about done with the livery. Needs very minor adjustments but it is looking good. Hoping for a release this weekend. In other news, a joint venture is being continued on the VF-154 Black Knights livery with Stargazer. I am happy to say that I will be releasing this livery of mine alongside his. I plan on in the future also working on the Low Viz variant of this livery. More details will be coming soon. :)
Tomcatter87 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Sounds great! I love it when there's a carrier populated with different but matching skins. Looking forward to the Black knights! One thing I noticed though: the red stripes on the rudders don't match perfectly yet. "Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward.

fl0w Posted June 30, 2019 Author Posted June 30, 2019 That's currently the last thing I am working on before release. :)
fl0w Posted July 4, 2019 Author Posted July 4, 2019 Sorry for the crickets chirping guys, I have been super busy with personal life matters. On the VF-154, the red stripes have now been properly aligned. Red trimming has also been fixed on the stabilizers. Currently, the other livery maker is busy, so the liveries may be released separately depending on the amount of time being able to be allocated towards our own designs.
Tomcatter87 Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 That's really looking great, thanks for your work! "Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward.

MRSHADO Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Hey Sirius, Here's one you probably haven't seen. Would love to see this one finished. i7-8700K / 64GB RAM / ASUS Strix GTX 1080 Ti / (Win 10 Pro) / Oculus Rift S
fl0w Posted July 7, 2019 Author Posted July 7, 2019 Hey Sirius, Here's one you probably haven't seen. Would love to see this one finished. Easy for me to do with the current livery with some simple color changes. :)
MRSHADO Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Easy for me to do with the current livery with some simple color changes. :) No worries. One of you were asking for top of the (spine, hood, cape, etc) of this aircraft. i7-8700K / 64GB RAM / ASUS Strix GTX 1080 Ti / (Win 10 Pro) / Oculus Rift S
Robert31178 Posted July 7, 2019 Posted July 7, 2019 Yeah SHADO, I always thought that livery in the grey & red was really nice looking too.
fl0w Posted July 7, 2019 Author Posted July 7, 2019 Thanks! Just checked it with my model and it is the same. :D Hoping to release this soon, I just want to make it look good and minimize new updates to it upon launch to ED user files.
fl0w Posted July 10, 2019 Author Posted July 10, 2019 A small update on this thread: As progress has been continuing (and minor procrastination) on the VF-154 High Viz skin, the livery has now been completed. I am fairly satisfied with what I made out of it during my free time, and learned quite a bit to how livery making works with the F-14B. I overlooked a lot of this beforehand, and now that I have been able to practice my own skills on this, I can now look back upon this knowing that this was an easier said-than-done kind of deal. In other news, I will be now working on the Low Viz variant as I had promised that I would look into doing for Robert. This version is just one of the other two that I will be making. Progress on the first one is almost done as well, with some exceptions like the pilot helmets. Sorry for taking so long to get these liveries released to you guys, but they will come!
